Bellotto was born in Venice, the son of Lorenzo Antonio Bellotto e Fiorenza Canal, sister of the then famous Canaletto, and studied in his uncle's workshop.

 Bernardo Bellotto
Bernado Bellotto was son of Fiorenza Canale, elder sister of Antonio Canale (the "first Canaletto") and Lorenzo Bellotto, of whom little is known.
In 1747 Bernardo left Italy permanently and embarked on a spectacularly successful career as a view painter at the Courts of the Electors of Bavaria in Munich and Saxony in Dresden, where he became the highest paid artist in the Saxon court, and where he executed some of his greatest works.
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.

 Bernardo Bellotto (Getty Museum)
Bernardo Bellotto's work sometimes has been mistaken for that of his famous uncle Canaletto; the native Venetian spent most of his life outside Italy and signed his works abroad de Canaletto.
Bellotto employed cooler colors than Canaletto, however, and showed a stronger feeling for landscape and sky in his vedute, or views.
Always maintaining his appreciation of architectural form and the varying tones of differing skies, Bellotto's compositions evolved from sparsely populated, evocative stillness to foregrounds of milling crowds and hustle-bustle.

 BERNARDO BELLOTTO - Venice: Grand Canal from Campo San Vio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It was until recently believed that Bellotto produced no Venetian views of his own during this period but there is now a greater consensus among scholars that he indeed repeated or adopted some of his uncle’s compositions.
Bellotto’s paintings tend to be marked particularly by a colder, grayer tone in the palette that becomes more pronounced in later years, stronger shadows and a distinct treatment of the figures, which are handled quite differently to those painted by the older artist.
Nonetheless, in each of them, as in the painting reproduced here, the works of the nephew are distinguished by more subtle differences, particularly in the arrangement of the figures and boats, the placement of shadows and the cast of light.

 BERNARDO BELLOTTO, called Canaletto
Though his paintings are marked by a stunning topographical exactitude and verisimilitude of details, Bellotto altered reality in favour of a compact composition and added structure to his paintings with the help of strong contrasts of light and shadows.
After a sojourn in Munich, Bellotto returned to Dresden in 1762 before finally settling in Warsaw in 1767.
This show is a unique opportunity as Bellotto´s views of Warsaw have lately been restored and will soon be firmly installed again on the walls of Warsaw Palace and thus not available as loans in the foreseeable future.

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, ‘Canaletto’;, and Lorenzo Bellotto, of whom little is known (and after whom he named his own son), Bernardo entered his uncle’s studio as an assistant around 1735.
