"Canaletto and the Art of Venice" is an immersive journey into the life and art of Venices famous view-painter. No artist better captures the essence and allure of the city than Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto. The film offers the chance to step inside two official royal residences - Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle to learn more about the artist, and Joseph Smith, the man who introduced Canaletto to Britain.
Viewers will embark on their very own 21st century Grand Tour, visiting the sites enjoyed by their 18th century counterparts and immortalised in Canalettos views - from the Rialto Bridge to the Piazza San Marco, and the Palazzo Ducale to the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Guided by Royal Collection Trust curators and the worlds leading experts in Venetian history, the video is not only a wonderful way to see the exhibition, but also an opportunity to get closer to Canaletto and the city that inspired him.
