Venice: Canaletto and His Rivals by Leah Kharibian (DVD, 2011) All Regions.
Canaletto's views of eighteenth-century Venice are famous the world over. But as this engaging film reveals, he was not without talented rivals. The market for view painting was highly competitive and painters vied to impress patrons with a wealth of detail and sometimes startling perspectives.
This film explores the unexpected variety of this art form, and through a close look at the pleasures and spectacles enjoyed by visitors on the Grand Tour, it also discovers how the expectations and aspirations of foreign patrons shaped the pictures by which we still define Venice today.
• includes location footage revealing some of the places where visitors experienced the pleasures Venice had to offer
• looks at the optical instruments available to vedutisti (view painters), and how they were used
• explains how view paintings were bought, shipped and then displayed in British collections
• two bonus films on the contemporary British painters of cityscapes,
