Baroque Painting in Genoa

By: Gabriele Finaldi,Sally Korman,National Gallery (Great Britain)

Seventeenth-century Genoa was a fabulously wealthy cosmopolitan city with a rich and diverse artistic tradition. Its trade links reached across Europe and Genoa's patrician bankers, who came to dominate international finance, decorated sumptuous palazzi and churches. Into the early eighteenth century prosperous and educated patrons vied with one another to commission the most beautiful and lavish altarpieces, paintings and sculptures." "Baroque Painting in Genoa features the work of both native-born artists such as Bernardo Strozzi, Valerio Castello and Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, and those influential outside painters, including Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony Van Dyck, who lived and worked in the city. It discusses the circumstances that made Genoa the centre of this remarkable flourishing of the arts and illustrates in full colour the masterpieces that define this fascinating period of Genoese history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Venice Through Canaletto's Eyes

By: David Bomford,Gabriele Finaldi

This volume forms part of a series exploring the work of major artists through paintings in the National Gallery. Canaletto is rightly considered the supreme chronicler of Venice, but his painted views are not dispassionate and are subject to highly refined artistic licence.

Venice Through Canaletto's Eyes

By: David Bomford,Senior Restorer of Paintings David Bomford,Gabriele Finaldi

This beautiful book takes the reader on a journey through Canaletto's native Venice. Through a spectacular group of Canaletto's masterpieces in the National Gallery Collection and other works relating to them, the book explores the artist's painting technique and his treatment of the topography of the city. Although Canaletto was considered an objective chronicler, the authors show that his painted views are not simply dispassionate records of buildings and scenes but altered and manipulated depictions that emphasize specific aspects or moods of the city.
