	Venetian Painting - Francesco Guardi
		AN entry in Gradenigo's diary of 1764, preserved in the Museo Correr, speaks of Francesco Guardi, painter of the quarter of SS.
		Francesco Guardi was a son of the Austrian Tyrol, and his mountain ancestry may account, as in the case of Titian, for the freshness and vigour of his art.
		Guardi may be considered the originator of small sketches, and perhaps the precursor of those glib little views which are handed about the Piazza at the present day.

	Biography
		Francesco did not learn the profession from his father, who had died when the boy was four years old, but possibly in the studio of his thirteen-year-older brother Gian Antonio.
		If this was indeed one of Guardi's earliest vedute, the painter did not follow Canaletto's late style for long; a number of works that can be dated approximately 1760 are characterized by a dark palette, turbulent skies and a charged atmosphere, characteristics that are far more reminiscent of Canaletto's views of the 1720s and 1730s.
		Whereas Gian Antonio Guardi, as a history painter, was one of the founders of the Venetian Accademia, his younger brother Francesco was not admitted as a pittore prospettico until 1784, at the age of seventy-one.

	Francesco Guardi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Francesco Guardi (October 5, 1712 – January 1, 1793), Venetian painter, was a pupil of Canaletto.
		Guardi's style is looser, noticeable for spirited touch, sparkling colour and picturesquely sketched figures.
		Canaletto is said to have painted the Serene republic rising above the waters of the lagoon; in Guardi, it appears to melt into the fog and murky water.

	Francesco Guardi Biography / Biography of Francesco Guardi Biography Biography
		The Italian painter Francesco Guardi (1712-1793) is famed for his oil sketches of Venice and its lagoons, loosely painted with open, clearly visible brushstrokes and a sense of the sparkle of light.
		Guardi belonged to the new baroque tradition that grew out of the late style of Titian and, as it became progressively looser and freer, pointed the way toward impressionism.
		Of all Guardi's paintings the most evocative are his caprices, the landscapes born out of his imagination though suggested by the ruined buildings on the lonely islands of the Venetian lagoon.

		Their compositions were not particularly original, and Francesco's own work is hard to distinguish from that of his brother, thirteen years his senior and clearly the dominant partner, although an attempt to do so has been made recently.
		It was not until a year after Gian Antonio's death in 1760 that Francesco Guardi's name was inscribed in the Fraglia of Venetian painters, but as a painter of views rather than history subjects, so we may assume that the two brothers had established their own specialities before the elder's death.
		Francesco did not entirely abandon figure painting after his brother's death, as is evidenced by a somewhat disappointing altarpiece from 1777, which indicates that he was well advised to dedicate his principal efforts to the production of veduti.

		Francesco was enormously prolific and his work is in many public collections in Italy, Britain and elsewhere.
		Giambattista Tiepolo was married to the sister of the Guardi brothers, and it was possibly through his influence that Gianantonio became a founder member of the Venetian Academy in 1756.
		Francesco was not elected until 1784, during the presidency of his nephew Giandomenico Tiepolo.

	A concise history of the artist Francesco Guardi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Francesco Guardi, one of a Venetian family of artists whose work was largely immersed in the general works of the Studio until the death of his brother and Studio Head, Gianantonio, in 1760 when he concentrated on his paintings of Venetian Scenes for which he is now famous.
		A very prolific painter, Francesco Guardi is also considered by some to be the authorship of the renowned "Story of Tobit" which decorate the organ loft of S. Raffaele in Venice, although there is some dispute as to whether this is wholly or partially attributable to his brother, Gianantonio.
		Guardi was elected to the Venetian Academy in 1784.

	Short Bio of Francesco Guardi
		He is now famous for his views of Venice, indeed next to Canaletto he is the most celebrated view-painter of the 18th century, but he produced work on a great variety of subjects and seems to have concentrated on views only after the death of his brother Gianantonio (1699-1760).
		Francesco's career was unsuccessful in worldly terms; he was still working for other artists when he was over 40, he never attracted the attention of foreign visitors in the way Canaletto did, and he died in poverty.
		Recognition of his genius came in the wake of Impressionism, when his vibrant and rapidly painted views were seen as having qualities of spontaneity, bravura, and atmosphere lacking in Canaletto's sharply defined and deliberate works.

	Gondola in the Lagoon by GUARDI, Francesco
		Francesco Guardi was a collaborator of Gianantonio, from whom he learned the craft of painting, but he introduced into his older brothers art his own profoundly meditative personality.
		This picture, unanimously attributed by researchers to Francesco, is, in all likelihood, the fragment of a larger composition.
		The whole scene is summarized in the slow and calm movement of the gondoliere in the foreground, whereas the scenery of the lagoon virtually disintegrates in the mother-of-pearl atmosphere, which is lightened here and there by some rare flashes in the background.

		In his younger years, Francesco Guardi dedicated his attention to figure painting, working mainly for the Giovanellis, a family from Bergamo who had come to Venice, where they became part of the local patrician class during the 17th century.
		The painting in the Treviso museum, which is signed “ Francesco Guardi fecit ” lower left, is stylistically similar to the view in Oxford and can thus also be dated to the late 1750s.
		It clearly shows how, at the beginning of his career, Francesco Guardi paid close attention to the works of Canaletto: the atmosphere is peaceful and luminous, the buildings are shown with great precision, and the figures are lively, each with its own clear character.

		The verdict of his own time, and of the succeeding 150 years or so, was surely the right one: that Francesco came into his own as a VEDUTA painter, after his brother’s death or only shortly before.
		Suggestions that he began to paint views of Venice as early as 1730 have been shown to be based on invalid evidence; there is no reason to suppose that any of his vedute can be dated earlier than the later 1750s.
		And here again he followed the studio practice of borrowing compositions from others: he borrowed, for instance, from the etchings of his near-contemporary Michele Giovanni Marieschi, as in the Grand Canal with the Palazzo Pesaro (London, N.G.); but his main source of inspiration at this time was certainly Canaletto.
