Exhibition on Screen: Canaletto & the Art of Venice
The fifth season of EXHIBITION ON SCREEN starts with Canaletto & the Art of Venice, a deep dive into the life and art of Venice's most famous view painter. Canaletto, whose full name is Giovanni Antonio Canal, is the only artist who really gets the essence and charm of Venice. The amazing collection of more than 200 paintings, drawings, and prints on display show how talented Canaletto and his contemporaries were, as well as how well he captured the city. The movie also lets you look around Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, which are official royal homes, to learn more about the artist and Joseph Smith, who brought Canaletto to Britain.
