Arthshila Ahmedabad’s Film Showcase this week features ‘Canaletto and the Art of Venice’ by David Bickerstaff.

This film is an immersive journey into the life and art of Venice’s famous view-painter. No artist better captures the essence and allure of the city than Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto. The film offers the chance to step inside two official royal residences – Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle – to learn more about the artist, and Joseph Smith, the man who introduced Canaletto to Britain. Guided by Royal Collection Trust curators and the world’s leading experts in Venetian history, the film is not only a wonderful way to see the exhibition, but also an opportunity to get closer to Canaletto and the city that inspired him.

Join us for the showcase at 5.00 pm on 06 October 2023 (Friday) and at 11.30 am on 07 – 08 October 2023 (Saturday – Sunday).
