Giovanni Antonio Canal (Canaletto): Analysis on 2 of Canaletto’s paintings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Canal_and_the_Church_of_the_Salute This painting is called “The Grand Canal at the Church of Salute.” I can see that this painting looks like it has been drawn with different sizes of brushes. The painting looks really realistic because Canaletto must have used a lot of different strokes to get the three dimensional look. The tone and shadow of the buildings are…
