ANTONIO CANAL called CANALETTO (Venezia 1697-1768) Landscape with woman at the well Etching, circa 1740, 5,3x8 inches (135x205 mm) Very fine condition. Canaletto was a highly influential Venetian landscape painter, during the 18th century. Inspired by the work of the Italian Vedutisti, Paolo Giovanni Pannini, and by the study with Luca Carlevarijs, he worked in printmaking and etching as well, producing in Venice and England. He captured sweeping scenes of Venice's canals and also the city's palaces. These were highly sought after pieces for art collectors of the time, including The Grand Canal and the Church of the Salute from 1730 and Return of the Bucintoro to the Molo on Ascension Day from 1732. Among his works, Palazzo Ducale in Venice and View of the Grand Canal, now on display at the Uffizi Gallery. He also painted pieces that show the city's pageantry in ceremonies and festivals, using an almost Impressionist style, much ahead of its time. References: Succi, 1. Bromberg, 29.
