The painter of eternal Venice
Born in Venice in 1697, Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto, initially trained with his father, a theater decorator.
He then transposes this mastery of perspective and light to painting, becoming the great visual chronicler of Venice.
His paintings, of almost architectural precision, appeal equally to Italian nobles and English travelers on the Grand Tour.
Canaletto combines topographical accuracy and atmospheric poetry, creating a work where reality becomes sublime.
The art of light and perspective
Canaletto's works, such as The Grand Canal from the Rialto Bridge, Venice's Piazzetta, View of the Doge's Palace, The Bacino di San Marco or The Rialto Bridge from the south, demonstrate a perfect mastery of linear perspective and luminous composition.
His light palette and attention to detail offer a vision that is both realistic and harmonious of the city.
Under his brush, water becomes a mirror, stone breathes, and Italian light envelops facades in a golden glow.
Each Canaletto painting is a invitation to travel and contemplation.
