"This exhibition catalogue considers the cultural context of the artist's development as a redute, or view painter. Essays by William Barcham, Eugene J. and Leslie Nichols Johnson, Alexandra Libby, and Stanton Thomas provide a context for the catalogue entries on the genre pictures, landscapes, religious paintings, and the decorative arts made by Canaletto and his contemporaries. The result is a unique and multi-faceted portrait of a city at a critical moment in the history of art. A collaborative effort of the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art and The John and Mable Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida, Venice in the Age of Canaletto offers a fascinating look at sumptuous paintings, prints, and decorative arts from the famed floating city." --Book Jacket.
