The Piazzetta Canaletto Date: c.1734; Venice, Italy * Style: Baroque Genre: veduta Media: oil, canvas Dimensions: 68.6 x 91.5 cm
Canaletto’s early theatrical training is evident in the monumental scale of these paintings, with the daring perspective and low viewpoints. The skies are dramatic and the paint broadly and fluidly handled. Like a theatre backdrop, buildings recede rapidly into the distance. The scenes are punctuated by blocks of dark and light, the figures carefully posed like actors on a stage.
