Bernardo Bellotto |
 | | The "second Canaletto" was Bernardo Bellotto, who lived 1720-1780, and who carried the same artist name as his 23 year older colleague, who was also his paternal uncle, patron and professional teacher. |
| | Bernado Bellotto was son of Fiorenza Canale, elder sister of Antonio Canale (the "first Canaletto") and Lorenzo Bellotto, of whom little is known. |
| | Bellotto's use of the name Canaletto (which is how he is still generally known in Poland) was no doubt partly intended to open the doors of patrons who knew of his uncle's renown. |
