Delphi Collected Works of Canaletto
Page 3
In 1763 Canaletto was finally elected to the Venetian Academy, having been passed over earlier in the same year in favour of two relatively unimportant artists — doubtless on the grounds that he was a view painter and therefore judged inferior to history or figure painters.
The artist last attended a meeting of the Academy on 23 August 1767. He died of fever on 10 April 1768 and was buried at S. Lio, where he had been baptised. He left twenty-eight “medium and small” pictures, of which little are known, some old clothes and the most modest household goods. He had scarcely any money in cash, though he still owned the property he had bought for 2150 ducats during his 1751 visit to Venice from London. For a careful bachelor, this was not a great deal after forty-five years of successful painting at prices so many complained were too high.
