  • Venice Canaletto And His Rivals At National Gallery Of Art
    April 12, 2011

    Regarded by many for centuries as the most beautiful city in the world, Venice has long been a magnet for all manner of visitors, including great artists, many native Italians. Among the most important artists depicting the city⁳ wonders early on were Italian vedute or view painters, who sought to convey the dazzling splendor of the place in colorful, panoramic tours de force. Church by church, piazza by piazza and stone by stone, these artists captured sites that are still recognizable today. Many view painters responded to views in their own way; others replicated scenes painted by the most successful among them. The glorious works created by Eighteenth Century Italian painters are documented in one of this year⁳ most beautiful exhibitions, ⁖enice: Canaletto and His Rivals.†On view at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., through May 30, it features 20 paintings by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto, and 33 works by his contemporaries and competitors.
