We begin today with another work by Canaletto, this one being Saint Mark's and the Clock Tower, Venice, dating circa 1735-37.
This sculpture is Venus Plucking Cupid's Wings, dating circa 1715-20. It is by Massimiliano Soldani.
Pietro Rotari painted Young Woman With A Fan around 1754-56.
The Church Of Santa Maria della Salute, Venice is by Francesco Guardi, circa 1780-85.
Peter Lely painted Sir Edward Massey around 1647.
Portrait Of A Man In A Red Coat dates to the early 1770s, by Jean-Baptiste Perroneau.
Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, And His Family is a 1732 work by Gawen Hamilton.
I finish today with Self-Portrait by Benjamin West, circa 1776, a different take on another self portrait that hangs in Baltimore. The display panel features the other version.
I have visited Venice a couple of times. On my second visit we figured out how to stay away from the tourist areas, and that is when I really took a liking to Venedig as the city is called in Swedish.
