Canaletto's artistic style can be characterized by his use of veduta as a genre, his blending of real and imaginary elements, his meticulous rendering of architectural structures, his subtle manipulation of sunlight, shadow and cloud effects, and his play of light on water surfaces. His paintings and etchings influenced many other artists, especially in England, where he worked for ten years. His works are considered among the finest examples of 18th-century Venetian art.
