LabelThe Venetian painter Bellotto lived and worked in Italian cities and abroad, helping to spread the tradition of Venetian view painting throughout Europe. Here, by painting a view of Verona from the river, he makes the city look remarkably like Venice.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |
