Description: | Francesco Tironi was a Venetian artist who quite literally followed in the footsteps of Canaletto using many of his viewpoints and compositions. This view of the Grand Canal looking east from Campo San Vio towards the Bacino, for example, appears in an earlier painting by Canaletto now in the Royal Collection. Even Tironi's positioning of boats on the water imitates that of his predecessor. The two artists' paintings differed significantly in style, however, Tironi's approach being more simplistic and linear. He uses the figures and the smoke rising from the overstated chimneys to enliven his rather rigid technique. | Subjects: | landscape; place (Venice Grand Canal from Campo San Vio towards the Bacino) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Tironi, Francesco (Italian painter, ca.1745-1797) Æ After Canaletto (Italian painter, 1697-1768) Previously attributed to Canaletto (Italian painter, 1697-1768) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8842... | Go to resource |
