Annotation Giovanni Antonio Canal, also known as Canaletto (1697-1768) was initiated to painting and perspective by his father who was himself a painter. Canaletto was known for his vedute - large-scale paintings of cityscapes or views. Whilst the amateurs of his time brought back their landscape paintings as evidence of their travels in Italy, Canaletto became the incarnation of La Serenissima of the baroque period. A forerunner in his method of spacing out the different planes of his works, he embellished his pictures with details in order to better highlight the distances and used a camera obscura in the composition of his paintings.

With the precision of the lines and the tonality of the palette, Canaletto’s paintings are still the most beautiful panoramas in the history of art. Over the course of this inspired, richly-illustrated text, Octave Uzanne shares with the reader his passion for this striking Venetian painter of the eighteenth century.
