Canaletto was in England between 1746 and about 1756. Many details of 'Eton College' are inaccurate, although the position of the chapel is correctly depicted, suggesting the picture may have been worked up from an earlier drawing: http://bit.ly/1J4fHOo

It is a history that includes many incredible paintings. 'The Stonemason's Yard' is considered one of Italian master Canaletto's finest works. This painting joined our collection back in 1828 and can now be found in Room 38.

'The Stonemason's Yard' is considered one of Canaletto's finest works. The informal nature of the scene and the unusual view across the Grand Canal suggest that it was made for a local Venetian patron rather than a foreign visitor to Venice. This painting hangs in Room 38: http://bit.ly/2dOB7bH

Canaletto and his rivals

An artist whose name was his destiny, Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as "Canaletto," was to become the most famous painter of Venice’s canals in history. But although he is the artist most popularly associated with the genre, he had many skilled rivals with whom he had to compete for commissions.

A major new exhibition at London's National Gallery is dedicated to eighteenth century Venetian view painting.
