THE SPLENDOUR OF VENICE IN BRESCIA. Some information on the exhibition.
Martinengo Place in Brescia houses a new exhibition, which celebrates The Splendour of Venice and its undying myth in the collective unconscious.
The exhibition displays more than one hundred masterpieces by Canaletto, Bellotto, Guardi and paintings by the most important eighteenth and nineteenth-century vedutisti (landscape artists), coming from both public and private collections from Italy and from foreign countries. The display shows that Vedutismo (landscape painting) didn’t end together with the end of the Republic of Venice; on the contrary, it went on during 19th century as well.
