From Francesco Guardi’s and Canaletto’s panoramic views of Venice to Giovanni Paolo Panini’s Roman vedute: Numerous 18th-century Italian landscapes and cityscapes—especially the smaller formats—were painted as “souvenirs” for travelers on educational journeys from Europe north of the Alps. Henrik Engel will show you which destinations and motifs were particularly popular.
Just art? What makes the Old Masters so appealing? What stories do they tell in their paintings across the ages? How can we decipher their messages? Discuss details of the exhibited works as well as their historical contexts. Topics change weekly.
