    • Synopsis
    • Bernardo Bellotto, pupil and grandson of the famous landscape painter Canaletto, surpassed the master in skills and became his rival. He continued his career by signing himself with the uncle’s nickname of "Canaletto", generating confusion in attributions. With his Camera obscura, the prototype of the modern camera, he was a chronicler and “film director” of the world of that time, documenting the major European capitals as a court painter. His paintings immerse us in the history and customs of the 1700s.
