Still on Venice…

Yesterday I went again to the National Gallery in London and (among others) saw the huge Venice paintings by Canaletto but this time in a totally different light. I was amazed how much Venice today looks like Venice in 18th century! With other paintings, the passing of time is obvious, but Venice still looks the same. Today you just see less gondolas more vaporetti and people are dressed differently, but that’s all! Now wonder I felt like being in a movie set…
