Monaco – Around thirty paintings by ten masters of Venetian Vedutism showcase the golden age of 18th-century Venice in “Lumières sur la Lagune,” a new exhibition curated by Italian art dealer and antiquarian Cesare Lampronti, reports QE-Magazine.
Inaugurated on September 23rd at the Hartford Fine Art – Lampronti Gallery, the exhibition features works by Canaletto, Bernardo Bellotto, Michele Marieschi, Francesco Guardi, Giuseppe Bernardino Bison, Francesco Albotto, and Giovanni Battista Cimaroli, among others. Notable highlights include a view of Piazza San Marco painted by Canaletto during his English period, Marieschi’s depiction of the Grand Canal with the Church of San Stae, and a view of the Colosseum by Bernardo Bellotto.
