Canaletto & Bellotto : observation and invention in Venice, London and Vienna
Abstract
From today´s perspective, one could argue that Giovanni Antonio Canal and his nephew, Bernardo Bellotto, used their cityscapes to shape public perception. This book vividly illustrates how Venice became the setting for a glorious republican tradition, London a symbol of civic pride, and Vienna a backdrop for imperial representation.
[...]
These characterizations continue to influence how we perceive these cities today.The two painters not only depicted the cities´ architecture with remarkable realism but also transformed streets and squares into lively urban environments, rich in narrative detail – so abundant that one can happily lose oneself in them.
