Exhibition on Screen: Canaletto & the Art of Venice
EXHIBITION ON SCREEN kicks off its fifth season with Canaletto & the Art of Venice, an immersive journey into the life and art of Venice's most renowned landscape painter. Canaletto, also known as Giovanni Antonio Canal, portrays the spirit and allure of Venice better than any other artist. The extraordinary collection of more than two hundred paintings, sketches, and prints on show provides unprecedented insight into the creativity of Canaletto and his contemporaries, as well as the city he became a master of depicting. The film also provides the opportunity to explore Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle in order to learn more about the artist and Joseph Smith, the man who introduced Canaletto to Britain.
