Giuseppe Canella (Verona, 1788 - Florence, 1847) Church on the Adige Oil, diam. cm 12 The artistic life of Giuseppe Canella is fortunately traceable through the artist's handwritten autobiography, now preserved in the civic library of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan. Initiated to the art of painting by his father Giovanni, in conjunction with his brother Carlo, Canella dedicated himself in his native Verona to the scenographic activity and to the fresco decoration of stately villas. Following a stay in Mantua, the artist converted to landscape painting, elaborating the suggestions of Canaletto when he stopped in the heart of the Serenissima (1815-1818).
