Giovanni Antonio, zis Canaletto Canal

A painter of Venetian cityscapes, Canaletto turned narrow canals and grand palaces into clear, sunlit records of 18th-century life. In his work Peisaj citadin venețian you can trace the curve of the Grand Canal and the fluttering laundry strung between tall houses. Look for the soft shadows that mark midday, then tap the painting to step inside the scene and spot the gondolier guiding his boat beneath an arched bridge.
