Canaletto's "Palazzo Ducale and Piazza San Marco" captures the vibrant heart of Venice in 1755. Witness the grandeur of St Mark’s Basilica & bustling canals, a masterpiece of detail and light.
Pietro Longhi’s ‘The Baptism,’ painted circa 1755, exemplifies Baroque artistry with its tranquil portrayal of a Christian ritual. Featuring a priest administering baptism amidst a contemplative setting—a book symbolizing faith—the artwork showcases Longhi's skill in capturing human emotion and spiritual depth.
Pietro Longhi (1701-1785) was a Venetian painter famed for witty genre scenes of 18th-century life, capturing bourgeois society & everyday Venice with satirical charm – the 'Venetian Hogarth'.
