Book Description
"This exhibition catalogue considers the cultural context of the artist's development as a redute, or view painter. Essays by William Barcham, Eugene J. and Leslie Nichols Johnson, Alexandra Libby, and Stanton Thomas provide a context for the catalogue entries on the genre pictures, landscapes, religious paintings, and the decorative arts made by Canaletto and his contemporaries. The result is a unique and multi-faceted portrait of a city at a critical moment in the history of art. A collaborative effort of the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art and The John and Mable Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida, Venice in the Age of Canaletto offers a fascinating look at sumptuous paintings, prints, and decorative arts from the famed floating city." --Book Jacket.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
This beautiful book takes the reader on a journey through Canaletto's native Venice. Through a spectacular group of Canaletto's masterpieces in the National Gallery Collection and other works relating to them, the book explores the artist's painting technique and his treatment of the topography of the city. Although Canaletto was considered an objective chronicler, the authors show that his painted views are not simply dispassionate records of buildings and scenes but altered and manipulated depictions that emphasize specific aspects or moods of the city.

Book Description
Zuanne Antonio Canal was born in the Venetian parish of San Lio on 28th October 1697, and began his career as a painter of scenes for the theatre. In 1719 he went to Rome, and here, according to the account of the eighteenth century historian, Anton Maria Zanetti (1771) he grew weary of the theatre and started painting vedute from life. Canaletto examines the career of this most famous Venetian painter in context, from the origins of painting in Venice, and Canaletto's artistic predecessor, Luca Calrevarijs, to the last great Venetian veduta painter, Fransesco Guardi.
