Bracco Foundation was Main Sponsor of the exhibition “Venezia– Canaletto e i suoi rivali” (Venice: Canaletto and his rivals) at the Washington National Gallery of Art (February – May 2011).
The catalogue presents the works exhibited together with the profile of each artist: Canaletto, and his rivals, including Gaspare Vanvitelli, Luca Carlevarijs, Michele Marieschi, Bernando Bellotti, Francesco Guardi and many others. The exhibition layout was structured by “subject”: each of the most significant places in Venice – Piazza San Marco and its waterfront, the Canal Grande with the church of Santa Maria della Salute, etc. – Was presented in interpretations by the various artists, to underline their different and “unique” visions in the common intent to portray reality according to their own inclinations.
