Canaletto and the Splendour of Venice
2024.10.12（Sat）- 12.28（Sat）
Current Exhibition
The first exhibition in Japan to introduce the detailed story of a painter of scenic paintings (vedute) Canaletto (whose real name was Giovanni Antonio Canal / 1697-1768). It contains around 50 works including oil paintings, dessins, prints, and others, mainly from British collections including the National Galleries of Scotland. This exhibition lets guests trace the development of the genre of 18th-century scenic painting through Canaletto’s detailed and magnificent portrayals of Venice, together with works by artists in the 19th century who inherited Canaletto’s tradition and pioneered new images of Venice.
