The stunning lagoon city of Venice has long attracted painters and printmakers seeking to capture her brilliant architecture and limpid light. Canaletto was the most renowned among the view painters of Venice in the eighteenth century, but other artists also were in great demand, including Canaletto’s nephew Bernardo Bellotto, his rival Francesco Guardi, and his follower Antonio Joli. These and other painters satisfied the market for images that reminded visitors of their experience abroad after their return home.
