Giovanni Antonio Canal (1697-1768), known as Canaletto, is one of the mostopular of all old master painters. His views of Venice and London are muchelebrated and admired. First published in 1982, this revised book tracesanaletto's career from his beginnings as a scene-painter with his father tohe work of his later years in artists. Canaletto was interested in depictinghe world around him, but unlike most of his fellow artists, but he was morehan a mere recorder of the amazing scenery of Venice or of Georgian England.;e had the power, in the words of one of his contemporaries, to paint so thatthe eye is deceived and truly believes it is the real thing it sees", andis insight and technical skills were so dazzling that it was thought he mustely on some sort of optical apparatus. His first views of Venice wereainted around 1725 for Stefano Conti of Lucca. Soon after he came intoontact with Joseph Smith, British Consul in Venice, who was to become hisost important patron. Through Smith's influence, he came to England betweenbout 1746 and 1756 during which time he painted many London scenes including

Canaletto began his career as a theatrical scene painter, like his father, in the Baroque tradition. Influenced by Giovanni Panini, he is specialised in vedute (views) of Venice, his birth place. Strong contrast between light and shadow is typical of this artist. Furthermore, if some of those views are purely topographical, others include festivals or ceremonial subjects. He also published, thanks to John Smith, his agent, a series of etchings of Cappricci. His main purchasers were British aristocracy because his views reminded them of their Grand Tour. In his paintings geometrical perspective and colours are structuring. Canaletto spent ten years in England. John Smith sold Canaletto’s works to George III, creating the major part of the Royal Canaletto Collection. His greatest works influenced landscape painting in the nineteenth century.

In the age of the Grand Tour and the Enlightenment, it was Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto, who made the limpid, radiant light of Venice famous far beyound the frontiers of Italy. He developed veduta painting to its finest flowering. As well as numerous views of squares and canals, the artist celebrates - especially in his "Solennita dogali", his group of city festivals - Venice's former magnificence, to which he has created a memorable monument.

Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto, was an Italian painter of landscapes of Venice. He was also an important printmaker in etching. Much of Canaletto's early artwork was painted "from nature", differing from the then customary practice of completing paintings in the studio. Some of his later works do revert to this custom, as suggested by the tendency for distant figures to be painted as blobs of colour - an effect produced by using a camera obscura, which blurs farther-away objects. His early works remain his most coveted and, according to many authorities, his best. One of his early pieces is The Stonemason's Yard (1729) which depicts a humble working area of the city. Later Canaletto painted grand scenes of the canals of Venice and the Doge's Palace. His large-scale landscapes portrayed the city's pageantry and waning traditions, making innovative use of atmospheric effects and strong local colors. For these qualities, his works may be said to have anticipated Impressionism.
