London and Venice… 🇮🇹 🇬🇧

With digital art, we are so used to the consistency of our medium. No matter where we go, what we do, we can rely on our programmes to output to near Pantone perfection.

But even if you painted the exact same subject, with the very same brushes, only in a different country - in a world without such efficient travel as we have now, subtle changes emerge.

Canaletto, the 18th Century artist renowned for his capturings of Venice, moved from his home and his subject, to England, to further fuel the demand for his work.

And remarkably, when relocating, we notice the hues in his paintings change too. His subjects broadly remained Venetian, but owing to the difference in pigments that were available locally at the time, and techniques that adapted too, the tonal quality of his paintings are different to his Venetian works.

It feels allegorical to the change in lands, the weather, his community, his society… it feels like tangible evidence to what seems like a surface difference, but with a deeper impact on his art.

His time in England led him to paint many remarkable views of London, too. Greater value is seen in the sense that whilst Venice’s sight-lines have little changed since the 1700s, London’s greatly have, lending much enjoyment to the comparisons we can find between the two.

When visiting Venice, it still feels like walking in Canaletto’s Venice. But Canaletto’s London feels very distant to the London we visit today.
