This authoritative two-volume monograph presents a definitive study of Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto, the preeminent Venetian view painter of the eighteenth century. Constable meticulously documents Canalettos artistic development, patronage networks, and technical innovations, situating his work within the broader context of European topographical painting and Grand Tour culture. The volumes illustrate and analyze hundreds of paintings, drawings, and etchings, offering precise commentary on attribution, dating, and provenance. Constable argues for Canalettos enduring influence on urban landscape painting and his role in shaping visual perceptions of Venice and London.
