Views of Venice

Venice as eighteenth-century travellers saw it: the Grand Canal, St Mark's Square, the Salute, the Basin and the campi. The views of Canaletto, Bellotto and the great view painters were the souvenirs that Grand Tour gentlemen took home; today they are the finest way to bring Venice into a room.

The collection also includes plans of the city, such as the bird's-eye view of Venice, all printed on handmade Amalfi paper: each work's page gives its size, frame and price.

By artist: Canaletto and Bernardo Bellotto. For other cities: all the views.
