Canaletto and Guardi in Paris: Canaletto and Guardi, the two masters of Venice

The Canaletto and Guardi exhibition started a few weeks ago and is being held in the Jacquemart-André Museum from the 14th of September until the 14th of January 2013.

The title of the exhibition is Canaletto and Guardi the two masters of Venice and is ideal for anyone who wants to know more about the landscape movement. There are around 60 paintings on display and Canaletto is a cornerstone of the event with 25 paintings. It is therefore easy to have the time and space needed to take a good look at his master paintings. Along side these are the works of other artists including Francesco Guardi, di Luca Carlevarijs, di Michele Marieschi and di Bernanrdo Bellotto.

Some of these works are in Paris for the first time ever and come from important museums such as the Thysse-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, the National Gallery of London and the National Gallery of Parma. Even the British Royal Collection from Windsor Castle and the Queen’s Gallery from Buckingham Palace have contributed paintings to complete this exhibition in Paris.

If you happen to be on vacation in Paris and have chosen to stay in a B&B Paris and are particularly interested in art and Paris museums don’t miss this wonderful temporary exhibition.
