Francesco Guardi's Venice
Season 2, Episode 2 of 8
David travels to many magical locations in Venice that were painted by the great 18th century Venetian landscape painter, Francesco Guardi (1712-1783). David creates a pen and ink drawing and wash of the beautiful baroque church, Santa Maria della Salute, discussing Francesco Guardi's use and understanding of perspective. He then travels to Guardi's home district of the Cannaregio and paints an oil demonstration of the same canal scene painted by Guardi and the famous painter, Canaletto, exploring Guardi's spirited brushstrokes and expressive skies.
