Guardi St Mark's Basin with the Islands of Giogio _

Francesco Guardi's 'St Mark's Basin and the Islands of Dan Giorgio and Giudecca' , 1774. Canaletto may be more famous, but many consider Guardi the greater, if not greatest ever, painter of Venetian cityscapes. Profound thanks to the management and staff of the Accademia Gallery in Venice for granting me the freedom to photograph their entire collection. Museum photography is an especially exacting task. I have more to post, both of Guardi and other painters. See the excellent Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Guardi
