Francesco Lazaro Guardi (1712-1793)

Was a nobleman born in Venice and specialised in little views of the city. He was a collaborator of Canaletto when he was in his 40s and became later very popular running a large studio of his own.

He is considered to be among the last practitioners of the classic Venetian School of painting. He trained both his younger brother Nicolo and his son Giacomo, whose work is well known and who imitated his fathers style.

In painting, a capriccio means an architectural fantasy, placing together buildings, archaeological ruins and other architectural elements in fictional and often fantastical combinations.
