Description: | This work is one of many extant copies and versions of this composition, probably after a lost original by Canaletto. Bernardo Bellotto was a nephew and pupil of Canaletto, and his early style was very similar. In this work he has combined architectural elements from both Rome and Padua, creating an imaginary capriccio. Later in his career, Bellotto became renowned for his magnificant townscapes of the cities of central Europe. After World War II, his paintings were fundamental to the rebuilding of Warsaw. | Subjects: | townscape; buildings and gardens; figure; place (Rome; Padua) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bellotto, Bernardo (Italian painter and draftsman, 1721-1780) Æ After Attributed to Bellotto, Bernardo (Italian painter and draftsman, 1721-1780) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8417... | Go to resource |
