Italian artist Canaletto (1697 -1768), the 18th century’s most famous view-painter, created grand yet delicate images of legendary Italian buildings. Born Giovanni Antonio Canal, Canaletto originally painted theatrical scenery, but fell in love with landscapes while visiting Rome. An unrivaled architectural artist, Canaletto created dramatically lit, poetic images of Venice, whose authenticity was aided by the camera obscura, an early version of modern cameras. Canaletto’s glorious paintings made him internationally known, and permanently altered the world’s perception of Venice.
This collotype print was produced in an unknown edition size.
This fine art print is produced using the collotype process, a meticulous printing process that produces extraordinarily detailed reproductions with unparalleled color depth and range. Although collotype printing was replaced by the offset lithography press for commercial printing, it is still used by some fine art printers because of its unique ability to capture microscopic detail and tonal gradations.
