THE IMAGINARY INTERVIEW THE MAGAZINE doors to me. All in all, he must have commissioned (pauses to think)… oh, a good thirty paintings from me, if not more! But there were plenty of others, like the Prime Minister, Robert Walpole, and the Dukes of Bedford and Marlborough. (Reflectively) Six years ago, Smith sold most of his collection, including my pictures, to King George III. I know I shouldn't say it, but in my heart of hearts, I'm wild with joy! All the more so in that the sum seemed colossal to me: £20,000 – can you imagine? So those are the people I call my "honourable collectors". There was such demand that I had to resign myself to having some variants executed by my apprentices, one being my nephew, Bernardo Bellotto. In my view, he works far too hastily, even though he is more at ease in very large formats. Well, let's hope that he'll keep going, because he's really got something. I don't say that just because he's my nephew: I think the same of Guardi! King Stanislaw Augustus of Poland is said to have made a few proposals to Bernardo… Well, we'll see what happens. As a painter of Venice, what appeals to you most in this amazing city? Of course, there's St Mark's Square and the Grand Canal. But I particularly love the campi and the small churches you come across when you turn a corner in a little street. I never tire of the lagoon, both in everyday life and during festivals. I am a stage director fascinated by the play with perspective and light. And I have transmitted this taste for detail to a good number of my colleagues, who like me are spellbound by the canals and gondolas. You might say that this taste for detail is almost obsessive! Make no mistake: as with Guardi or Bernardo[Bellotto: Ed.] I have often come to paint an imaginary, reinvented, somewhat fanciful Venice without much relation to reality. These are scenes that are sometimes spectacular, sometimes idyllic, and occasionally… disturbing (laughs). The other day, an admirer of my work told me that they were whims. Absolutely: that suits me perfectly! After all, Venice is just a dream that has come to rest beside the sea.
