Download or read book Canaletto and the Art of Venice written by Rosie Razzall and published by Royal Collection Editions. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Collection has one of the largest and finest collections of Venetian art from the first half of the eighteenth century. It includes paintings, prints and drawings by Canaletto himself, as well as those of his contemporaries, such as Sebastiano and Marco Ricci, Antonio Visentini, Francesco Zuccarelli and Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. These artists were patronised by Consul Smith and their works were later purchased by George III. This lavishly illustrated catalogue marks the first time that the rich holdings of eighteenth-century Venetian art in the Royal Collection will have been brought together, and focuses on presenting these extraordinary works against the background of the social and artistic networks of the period. Whilst displaying and analysing the brilliant works of Canaletto himself, including his cityscapes, capriccios and paintings of architecture, this catalogue also discusses the intimate interior of Venetian life, explores the links between artists and the theatre in Venice at this time and looks at Venice as a centre for printmaking and book production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a group of masterpieces in the National Gallery Collection, which spans the artist's working life, and clusters of works relating to them, this book explores Canaletto's painting technique - the shorthand he developed for architectural detail and for figures, the way the skies and water are painted - and the larger question of his treatment of the topography of his native city. This selection of pictures - including contemporary maps and photographs of modern Venice, as well as sketchbooks, large detailed drawings, paintings and prints - takes the reader on a journey through Canaletto's Venice, along the Grand Canal from S. Simeone Piccolo and the upper reaches, past the Scuola di San Rocco to Palazzo Foscari and the Volta del Canal, on to the Carita and ending in St Mark's Square.

Download or read book Canaletto 1697 1768 written by Bożena Anna Kowalczyk and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No-one captures the allure and charm of Venice better than Canaletto This volume presents a substantial overview of the life and works of the great Venetian painter. More than 70 works by Canaletto, including paintings and drawings from both public and private collections, are brought together to demonstrate the breadth of the artist's creative capacity. Also included is a rare collection of documents concerning Canaletto's artistic adventures, as well as a series of prints that served as inspiration while crafting his iconic city views. Together, these materials illuminate both the public genius and private personality and life of the Venetian master. Giovanni Antonio Canal(1697-1768), known as Canaletto, began his career as a scene painter for the theaters of Venice. The artist is best known for his ability to capture encompassing views of the Venetian cityscape in paint, works that were frequently sold to European aristocrats on the Grand Tour. These early paintings often subtly blur the boundary between the real and imaginary, as the artist masterfully repositioned buildings and warped viewpoints to achieve the most holistic presentation of his subject. Although Canaletto is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 18th century today, his life was mired in controversy as he struggled with his public perception, fighting to be accepted by the Venetian Academy of Fine Arts before dying in poverty.
Download or read book Bellotto and Canaletto written by Bożena Anna Kowalczyk and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals the extraordinary artistic relationship between Canaletto (Venice 1697?1768) and Bernardo Bellotto (Venice 1722?Warsaw 1780): from the speed with which the exceptional young nephew learned from the teachings of his uncle? leading him to become his alter ego in works for English collectors? to the end of their direct relationship, with Canaletto in London and Bellotto in European capitals such as Dresden and Warsaw. Particular attention is paid to the interests developed by Bellotto on his travels: his rigorous perspectives and precise rendering of architecture, landscapes and portraiture, modern themes that differentiate him significantly from his uncle, who clung to the more splendid and idealised eighteenth century. The recent rediscovery of the inventory of goods from Bellotto's house in Dresden finally offers a key to understanding the culture and personality of an artist who was one of the eighteenth-century?s most restless and free. 0Exhibition: Galleria d'Italia, Milan, Italy (25.11.16 - 03.03.2017).
Download or read book Canaletto written by Earle Rice Jr. and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born to a designer and painter of stage settings in 1697, Canaletto followed in his father’s path and trained as a theatrical scene painter. He soon left the theater behind and became a vedutista—a view painter. Venetians will remain forever grateful for his decision to change the direction of his artistic career. With brush and palette, he created a glittering vision of Venice that continues to define the splendor of that sun-drenched city of islands and lagoons. Anyone who views his paintings and drawings will always associate him with Venice—La Serenissima—for Venice and Canaletto are one.
Download or read book Modernists and Mavericks Bacon Freud Hockney and the London Painters written by Martin Gayford and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Gayford’s masterful account of painting in London from the Second World War to the 1970s, illustrated by documentary photographs and the works themselves The development of painting in London from the Second World War to the 1970s has never before been told before as a single narrative. R. B. Kitaj’s proposal, made in 1976, that there was a “substantial School of London” was essentially correct but it caused confusion because it implied that there was a movement or stylistic group at work, when in reality no one style could cover the likes of Francis Bacon and also Bridget Riley. Modernists and Mavericks explores this period based on an exceptionally deep well of firsthand interviews, often unpublished, with such artists as Victor Pasmore, John Craxton, Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach, Allen Jones, R. B. Kitaj, Euan Uglow, Howard Hodgkin, Terry Frost, Gillian Ayres, Bridget Riley, David Hockney, Frank Bowling, Leon Kossoff, John Hoyland, and Patrick Caulfield. But Martin Gayford also teases out the thread weaving these individual lives together and demonstrates how and why, long after it was officially declared dead, painting lived and thrived in London. Simultaneously aware of the influences of Jackson Pollock, Giacometti, and (through the teaching passed down at the major art school) the traditions of Western art from Piero della Francesca to Picasso and Matisse, the postwar painters were bound by their confidence that this ancient medium could do fresh and marvelous things, and explored in their diverse ways, the possibilities of paint.

Download or read book The Lure of Dresden written by Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (Dresden, Germany) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernardo Bellotto (1722-1780) is one of the most famous vedute painters of the 18th century. His views and prospects of town and country are so rich in detail, so precisely and meticulously painted that historic places come to life again before the viewer's eyes. But far from being simply faithful reproductions of sights, his vedute are rather carefully planned compositions, the result of the artist availing himself of all the technical know-how of his age. During his time in Dresden, Bellotto created some of his most important works, which now form part of the collection at the Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister. These vedute still influence the way Dresden is perceived today, at home and abroad. They present a wonderful panorama of the old Augustan city, on which two of the greatest art collectors in German history - Augustus the Strong and his son Augustus III - left their mark. Thanks to these two electors, who simultaneously held the crown of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Dresden art collections flourished, becoming some of the most important in the world. This volume traces the various stages of Bellotto's career, focussing in detail on the canvases of his Dresden period. It also examines the history of the world-famous picture gallery, the Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister, and the era of Baroque collection-building in Dresden.
