EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Antonio Canaletto" by Giambattista Piazzetta. The image serves as the title page illustration from Prospectus Magni Canalis Venetiarum, created before 1735. Antonio Canaletto, a renowned Italian painter and artist, is depicted in this bust portrait with utmost elegance and grace. His oval-shaped face is framed by a meticulously styled wig, while his attire includes a sophisticated jabot that adds an air of refinement to his appearance. The engraving itself exudes the ornamental beauty of the rococo period, featuring intricate cartouches and decorative elements that enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. The attention to detail in capturing Canaletto's likeness is truly remarkable. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this photograph taken by Giraudon in 1925 allows us to admire Piazzetta's artistic interpretation of one of history's most celebrated painters.
