Semperbau at the Zwinger, Gemäldegalerie<br />
Alte Meister<br />
The Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister holds a<br />
high-quality ensemble of views of Venice by<br />
the young Canaletto (1697 – 1768). Painted<br />
around the year 1725, they are indisputably<br />
among the highlights in the history of vedute<br />
painting. Two paintings were restored<br />
with the support of the J. Paul Getty Trust<br />
(Los Angeles) and were presented to the<br />
public for the first time. The exhibition explained<br />
the process of the restoration and<br />
X-ray and infra-red images provided exciting<br />
insights into the artist’s painting technique.<br />
