Info

Canaletto often produced pictures that were above street level and not always portraying houses where they should be. Above ground level gives a clue as to how the views were found. The person commissioning a painting would have wanted a view from the main room of their house and that room was almost always on the first floor. Antonio Visenti Portrait of Giovanni Antonio Canal, called Canaletto before 1735 Engraving Royal Collection, Windsor Cityscape painting of his is the “View of the Bacino di San Marco (St Mark’s Basin)”. Painted between 1730-35. Oil on canvas 54cm x 71cm, placed in Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan Canaletto used the camera obscura method, the sun being the main resource. By putting curtains over the windows in front of the view of Bacino di San Marco, he would then make a small hole within one curtain. He then placed a lens or lenses in this hole. The sunlight then projected an upside-down image onto a canvas or a sheet of paper, which Canaletto used a lot. This was a very similar method to Vermeer but Canaletto had access to a lens which made the made the image more precise and easier to form.
Canaletto produces a rococo approach to the layout of this scene, which was inherited from the Grand Tour from classical buildings and strong baroque shading. Every object observed from reality but arranged in an almost geometric sequence. The painting depicts a highly dynamical balance marked by a complex "choral" harmony which reveals its true nature. He did this by applying theoretical perspective to an object to simulate another, he rediscovered an object's natural perspective. He celebrates the height of Venice’s by portraying the working lives under a blue sky. completed in 1450. Canaletto manages to create a replica portraying smooth repetition and a harmonious design. In comparison to his English grey ground paintings, he uses soft traditional Venetian colours in the overall canvas, which were warm reds, orange, and tones of brown as you can see in the Palazzo Ducale. He creates Gothic, Moorish, and Renaissance architecture characteristics. Canaletto has portrayed a scene from Piazza San Marco, also known as St Mark’s Square. This building is Palazzo Ducale, or Doges Palace which was built in two parts. The eastern wing, which faces the Rio di Palazzo, was built between 1301 and 1340. The western wing, facing the Piazetta San Marco, took an additional 110 years to build and was First digital image by Roxane Sperber.
