Italian Rococo Era Painter, C.1721-1780 Italian painter and draughtsman. He was a view painter who worked in Italy and later at the courts of Dresden, Vienna, Munich and Warsaw. The nephew and almost certainly the pupil of Canaletto, outside Italy he signed his works de Canaletto and hence became known as Canaletto. He painted both topographical and imaginary views in a style independent of his uncle's, distinguished by cold colour and by the austere geometry of architectural masses.   Related Paintings of Bernardo Bellotto :. | Dresden from the Right Bank of the Elbe above the Augustus Bridge | Bellotto urban scenes have the same | Fantastic architecture with portrait of Franciszek Salezy Potocki and his son Stanislaw Szczesny. | Piazza della Signoria a Firenze | The Blue Palace. |
