Annotation Giovanni Antonio Canal, also known as Canaletto (1697-1768) was initiated to painting and perspective by his father who was himself a painter. Canaletto was known for his vedute - large-scale paintings of cityscapes or views. Whilst the amateurs of his time brought back their landscape paintings as evidence of their travels in Italy, Canaletto became the incarnation of La Serenissima of the baroque period. A forerunner in his method of spacing out the different planes of his works, he embellished his pictures with details in order to better highlight the distances and used a camera obscura in the composition of his paintings.
