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.

This beautiful book takes the reader on a journey through Canaletto's native Venice. Through a spectacular group of Canaletto's masterpieces in the National Gallery Collection and other works relating to them, the book explores the artist's painting technique and his treatment of the topography of the city. Although Canaletto was considered an objective chronicler, the authors show that his painted views are not simply dispassionate records of buildings and scenes but altered and manipulated depictions that emphasize specific aspects or moods of the city.

"This exhibition catalogue considers the cultural context of the artist's development as a redute, or view painter. Essays by William Barcham, Eugene J. and Leslie Nichols Johnson, Alexandra Libby, and Stanton Thomas provide a context for the catalogue entries on the genre pictures, landscapes, religious paintings, and the decorative arts made by Canaletto and his contemporaries. The result is a unique and multi-faceted portrait of a city at a critical moment in the history of art. A collaborative effort of the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art and The John and Mable Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida, Venice in the Age of Canaletto offers a fascinating look at sumptuous paintings, prints, and decorative arts from the famed floating city." --Book Jacket.
