In addition to actual views, Canaletto also painted imaginary ones (he called them vedute ideate). Many date to the early 1740s, when he visited the mainland with his nephew Bernardo Bellotto (1722–1780), who also excelled at view painting. The beauty of these pictures—and this is one of the finest—resides in the abstract design, quality of light, and combination of buildings. Unlike in Canaletto’s conventional views, in this land- and seascape none of the churches, columns, or other structures are identifiable.

Your work of art will be manufactured with the help of state-of-the-art UV direct print technology. The great benefit of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts and minor details become visible because of the very subtle tonal gradation of the picture.

What is more, canvas creates a attractive and pleasing ambience. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. This means, it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Because of thatcanvas prints are suitable for all types of walls.
