Canaletto and rivals

Bellotto
The Tower of Marghera, Venice
La torre di Marghera


Intrigued by the clarity of the tower (brush marks that create the brickwork are also nice)
-Note use of light
-Shame it includes figures though
The only Bellotto painting that stood out at the Canaletto and rivals exhibition currently at the national gallery.


Francesco Guardi

-Intricate, elegant - gestural brush marks including outlining black wisps of line.
-Atmospheric & kinetic feel to painting
