　　Giovanni Antonio Canal (1697-1768), known as Canaletto, is one

of the most popular of all old master painters. His views of Venice

and London are much celebrated and admired. First published in

1982, this revised book traces Canaletto's career from his

beginnings as a scene-painter with his father to the work of his

later years in artists. Canaletto was interested in depicting the

world around him, but unlike most of his fellow artists, but he was

more than a mere recorder of the amazing scenery of Venice or of

Georgian England. He had the power, in the words of one of his

contemporaries, to paint so that "the eye is deceived and truly

believes it is the real thing it sees", and his insight and

technical skills were so dazzling that it was thought he must rely

on some sort of optical apparatus. His first views of Venice were

painted around 1725 for Stefano Conti of Lucca. Soon after he came

into contact with Joseph Smith, British Consul in Venice, who was

to become his most important patron. Through Smith's influence, he

came to England between about 1746 and 1756 during which time he

painted many London scenes including views of Westminster Bridge,

Whitehall, the Old Horse Guards, St James's Park and Somerset House

as well as views of Warwick Castle and Eton College. These and many

others of Canaletto's best paintings and watercolours are

reproduced in the book's much expanded range of colour

illustrations.
