Meanwhile, in the life of Bernardo Bellotto
The whole life1741
Marries Maria Elisabetta Rizzorno
In 1741 Bellotto married; in 1747 his wife, Maria Elisabetta Rizzorno, and their son Lorenzo, born in 1744, moved with him to Dresden.
1742
Goes to Rome to paint views of the city
In 1742 Bellotto went to Rome, where he painted views of the city. His brief stays in Florence and Lucca, documented by his views of those cities, were most likely part of the same journey.
c. 1744
Son born: Lorenzo Bellotto
1744
Works in Lombardy for Count Antonio Simonetta
From 1743 Bellotto travelled through northern Italy, returning to Venice only occasionally, and in 1744 he worked in Lombardy for Count Antonio Simonetta. Collectors often mistook his landscapes of those years for works by the more famous Canaletto, and vice versa.
