Canaletto Drawings: 47 Works

by Antonio Canaletto

Canaletto was the most inspired portrayer of the architecture, the life and the light of 18th-century Venice. This handsome volume reproduces 45 of his drawings of Venice and other cities in Italy and England. They reveal the artist's mastery of scenic composition and perspective, his astonishing draftsmanship, and his ability to capture in mid-gesture the intimate details of daily life.
