Description
The last great interpreter of Venetian Vedutism, Francesco Guardi (1712-1793) is celebrated on the third centenary of his birth with two exhibitions: one a monographic exhibition at the Museo Correr in Venice (until 6 January 2013), the other curated by the Soprintendenza per i Beni Storico-Artistici della Provincia di Trento with the collaboration of the Castello del Buonconsiglio - Francesco Guardi nella terra degli avi. Figure Paintings and Floral Capriccios - which illustrates the production in Trentino of this artist from Val di Sole (Mastellina). In addition to the descriptions of the works on display and various contributions on the restoration of the important painting cycle for the church of Vigo di Ton, the catalogue includes an interesting essay by curator Elvio Mich that highlights the 19th-century critical rediscovery of Francesco and his elder brother Gian Antonio as 'painters from Mastellina'.
