| | BERNARDO BELLOTTO - BIOGRAPHY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | Guarienti notes passò a Verona, Brescia e Milano, dove con molta sua lode le più conspicue prospettive di quei paesi in tele ritrasse.[1] Guarienti then goes on to describe the artist's activities in Venice and Dresden, where Bellotto was at the time but, alas, passes over discussion of his output while working in Venice. |
 | | The great Bellotto scholar, Stefan Kozakiewicz, identifies only seven paintings and twenty-one drawings of specific Venetian views and a handful of Capricii incorporating Venetian elements, but these must be considered a small proportion of his total Venetian output. |
 | | The son of Fiorenza Canale, elder sister of Antonio Canale, 145;Canaletto;, and Lorenzo Bellotto, of whom little is known (and after whom he named his own son), Bernardo entered his uncles studio as an assistant around 1735. |
