Canaletto and The Art of Venice

Directed by David Bickerstaff
Running time: 85 minutes

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN opened its fifth season with Canaletto & the Art of Venice, an immersive journey into the life and art of Venices famous view-painter. No artist better captures the essence and allure of Venice than Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto.

Cinema-goers will embark on their very own 21st century Grand Tour, visiting the sites enjoyed by their 18th century counterparts and immortalised in Canalettos views - from the Rialto Bridge to the Piazza San Marco, and the Palazzo Ducale to the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Guided by Royal Collection Trust curators and the worlds leading experts in Venetian history, the film is not only a wonderful way to see the exhibition, but an opportunity to get closer to Canaletto and the city that inspired him.

The series is underwriten by Spindrift Gallery.
