In het leven van Francesco Guardi
Het hele leven1768
After Canaletto’s death, heir to his art
After Canaletto’s death Francesco Guardi became the true heir and continuer of his art — though, unlike most view painters, he rendered Venetian architecture not with precision but freely and painterly.
27 January 1769
His wife dies after childbirth
On 14 January 1769 Guardi’s third son, Giovanni Battista, was born but died three days later; on 27 January the painter’s wife, Maria Mattea, also died of complications after the birth.
mid-1770s
Commission for the twelve “Doge’s Feasts”
Guardi was commissioned to paint a series of twelve canvases on the festive ceremony of the “Marriage of the Doge to the Sea”, held for the election of Doge Alvise IV Mocenigo in 1763. He based them on Giovanni Battista Brustolon’s engravings after Canaletto, published by Lodovico Furlanetto in 1766–1770.
