By chance was anyone else up late last night listening to BBC World Service radio? There was a story on about the current Canaletto exhibition at the National Gallery in London (titled "Venice: Canaletto and his Rivals") which also features other interpretations of the famous city by his contemporaries. The exhibition includes many of Canaletto's well-known masterpieces, such as The Stonemason's Yard. The exhibition will run in London until January 2011, at which time it will move to our National Gallery in D.C.
Anyone up for a road trip in, say, February (weather permitting) to view the same?

Great news! I didn't realize when I posted about the exhibit in London that it was headed stateside.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely interested in going.
