For my museum work paper I decided that I would like to focus on Canaletto's The Grand Canal from campo di san vio, 1730-1735. Canaletto is know for altering the landscapes in order to properly showcase several of venices' top sights. These paintings were then sold to people visiting on grand tours from other countries and used as a sort of post card. I would like to focus on this aspect of his use artistic license to present more popular works to his buyers in my paper.
Canaletto is renouned for being one of the most well known landscape painters also known as 'veduta' painters. Veduta is an italian word which means 'view' this tradition was thought to have been started by northern european artists working in italy. These first vedutisti artists painted marine views and scenes of Rome which were sold to tourists as a sort of 'post card' that would usually be sent home.
