Description: | The Piazza San Marco and the smaller Piazzetta between the Ducal Palace and the Library Marciana belonged to the most painted views of the eighteenth century. In no way can this work be by Francesco Guardi, or even by Canaletto to whom, as is the case with almost all Venetian townscapes in older British collection catalogues, it was attributed when it came to the Museum of Glasgow. But it reflects modes Francesco Guardi used, and even the much too large figures populating the space are to be found in his paintings. | Subjects: | townscape; place (Venice) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Guardi, Francesco (Italian painter, 1712-1793) Æ Attributed to circle of Attributed to imitator of Guardi, Francesco (Italian painter, 1712-1793) Previously attributed to Canaletto (Italian painter, 1697-1768) Previously attributed to Guardi, Francesco (Italian painter, 1712-1793) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8808... | Go to resource |
