Antonio Canaletto

Categories: Art, Seriously Famous

Venetian painter. When the supply of Grand Tourists coming to Venice and buying his paintings dried up due to war, Canaletto decided to come to England. He arrived in 1746 and stayed until 1755, painting a number of London scenes. Review of an excellent 2007 exhibition 'Canaletto in England'.
