Italian Rococo Era Painter, C.1721-1780 Italian painter and draughtsman. He was a view painter who worked in Italy and later at the courts of Dresden, Vienna, Munich and Warsaw. The nephew and almost certainly the pupil of Canaletto, outside Italy he signed his works de Canaletto and hence became known as Canaletto. He painted both topographical and imaginary views in a style independent of his uncle's, distinguished by cold colour and by the austere geometry of architectural masses.   Related Paintings of Bernardo Bellotto :. | The Ruins of the Old Kreuzkirche in Dresden | Ansicht von Pirna, Pirna von Kopitz aus, mit Festung Sonnenstein | Canaletto | Self-portrait as Venetian ambassador. | Wien, vom Belvedere aus gesehen. |
