DescriptionDescription: In the second half of the 18th century, Europe was seized with a passion for Italian art. Princes and aristocrats embarked on educational Grand Tours of Italy, with Venice often one of their first ports of call. Soon a market emerged for souvenirs in the form of painted cityscapes –vedute. One of the leading exponents of the genre was Bernardo Bellotto. His painting of the Grand Canal has an almost photographic attention to detail.
