This gorgeous book fully catalogues for the first time Sir Denis Mahon`s entire collection of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italian paintings-a collection recognized as one of the most impressive in the world. From the 1930s to the 1970s, Mahon, a scholar, collector, and London National Gallery trustee, acquired seventy-nine Italian Baroque works and played a fundamental role in changing perceptions of art of this period.

Venice through Canaletto's Eyes (National Gallery London Publications)

Through a group of masterpieces in the National Gallery Collection, which spans the artist's working life, and clusters of works relating to them, this book explores Canaletto's painting technique - the shorthand he developed for architectural detail and for figures, the way the skies and water are painted - and the larger question of his treatment of the topography of his native city.This selection of pictures - including contemporary maps and photographs of modern Venice, as well as sketchbooks, large detailed drawings, paintings and prints - takes the reader on a journey through Canaletto's Venice, along the Grand Canal from S. Simeone Piccolo and the upper reaches, past the Scuola di San Rocco to Palazzo Foscari and the Volta del Canal, on to the Carita and ending in St Mark's Square.

<p>This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, express the confidence that modern secular audiences can engage with the masterpieces of Christian art at an emotional as well as a purely aesthetic or historical level. Their aim is to help the viewer understand these pictures by focusing attention on the purpose for which they were made, and exploring why they might have meant to their original viewers.</p>
