An affectionate client of mine is in love with Canaletto.
This is the second copy he commissioned me, precisely it's from Canaletto's:

 

"The Canal Grande with the Ponte Rialto and the Fondaco dei Tedeschi",

(unsure date, 1707-1750)

oil on canvas (+ ageing),

62x83 cm.

And here some details:

These last two pics are intended to show the crackle detail. I usually achieve this with an ageing varnish, but this time crackles were so characteristic that I chose to just paint them over the finished painting before the final varnishing.

I'm not great with photos, so between the glossy finish and some trouble with hues, the original artwork is a little less saturated than it shows on here.
But you get the idea :)



Thank you for watching.
