Gabriel Bella (1730-1799)

A fascinating room, in Querini Stampalia Fondation is dedicated to vedutist* painter Gabriel Bella (1730-1799). Altogether, sixty sixt paintings that depict Venetian life in the 18th century and, these paintings being mainly landscapes, that give us an idea of how Venice looked like some 250 years ago.

*Veduta (pl. Vedute) : Italian for "View". Large-scale painting of a cityscape.
