canaletto

Just a few days ago I was looking at a Canaletto that was really pretty rubbish.

Some people say this isn't actually painting, but they don't see the hours and impeccable taste of mine involved in browsing the works of Canaletto and Botticelli.

Last but not forgotten, there are famous artists such as Francisco Goya, Thomas Gainsborough, William Blake, Turner, Canaletto and that famous painter of horses—George Stubbs.

I did guess correctly, by the way, but I couldn't tell you whether it was because I saw one of the pictures long ago at a Canaletto exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, from books, or just chance.

The architects and workers reconstructing Warsaw also had to rely on drawings, paintings etc., most of them made by Canaletto.

Canaletto used a dark chamber, his paintings are considered to be so accurate that the Venice authorities have used them to assist in calculating the change in height of buildings over a two hundred odd year gap.

A subset doing the grunt work of simply recording details for prosperity had a competitive alternative, but even in the subset of image production where photorealism is considered desirable, people still commission painters for "lifelike" portraits and Canaletto renderings of Venice are still worth a fortune despite a near infinitude of similar images on Instagram.

Former toolmaker Ken Small worked seven hours a day for three years to produce the extraordinary reproduction of Canaletto's famous work." My argument is that 'working 7 hours a day for 3 years' should have been the title of the article, not the effortless perfection suggested by "...but has never had an art lesson in his life".
