Vermeer was ahead of his time for his cityscapes from the help of the sun. The sun helped Vermeer to navigate the right proportions of buildings distances, layout, and figure proportions. It allowed Vermeer to use the sun to see where the reflections and shadows will fall, creating a three-dimensional, dynamic illusion. Théophile Thoré-Bürger Date taken – unknown, Author – unknown Many thought camera obscura wasn’t a talent as the picture was already there for you to paint, like tracing, but this technique had helped to advance in many aspects for things we use today. It has advanced portraiture and even make it come to ‘life’ through films. This all resulted with making him a master of Dutch painting and forever inspiring continuing artists like Théophile Thoré who aimed to rediscover Vermeer and the artist Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto.

An 18 th century artist named Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto meaning “Little Canal”. He was a Rococo painter that was highly inspired by Vermeer and suggestively used the same technique as the Dutch master himself. Canaletto was born on 28 th October 1697 in Venice where he admired and depicted views of the city of Venice. He was a son to Bernardo Canal and Artemisia Barbieri. He began an occupation in his father’s steps as a theatrical scene painter. On his return from Rome in 1719, he began painting his well-known topographical paintings which were said to be formed with the use of camera obscura for accuracy, under the training of the older Luca Carlevaris. Carlevaris was famous for his urban cityscapes. Canaletto's early artwork was painted 'from nature'. Majority of his later works tend to have distant figures, painted as blobs of colour. This was an effect formed by using a camera obscura because it blurred object further away. English collectors, on their Grand Tour, admired Canaletto’s artwork and often commissioned them through the agency of the merchant Joseph Smith. In 1739. Britain declared war on Spain and the 'War of Jenkins's Ear' began. This began after repeated depredations on British ships by Spanish 'guarda costas'. This was mainly a colonial war in Caribbean waters. It was named after a Captain Robert Jenkins. Britain declared war on Spain whose ear had been severed by the Spanish. The War lasted until 1748, but the war formed into a larger war called the Austrian Succession, which took place from October 1740 until October 1748. This war reduced Canaletto’s commissions greatly as it was too risky associating with the British. After his return to Venice, Canaletto was elected to the Venetian Academy in 1763. In his later works, he often worked from old sketches and continued painting until his death in 1768, successfully teaching his pupils; Bernardo Bellotto, Francesco Guardi, Michele Marieschi, Gabriele Bella, Giuseppe Moretti, and Giuseppe Bernardino Bison.
