    A gorgeous celebration of the beauty of Venice as conveyed in the paintings of Canaletto and his followers.
    Among the renowned Old Master paintings at the Wallace Collection in London is an important group of 27 eighteenth-century views of Venice, known as vedute, by Canaletto and his followers, including Francesco Guardi. They hang together in a dedicated gallery known as the Canaletto Room, but until recently the majority had not been cleaned since the nineteenth century and their original beauty was obscured by multiple layers of discoloured varnish.
    The paintings have now been restored and rephotographed, following a multi-year conservation and research project that has also led to a reappraisal of them. This book presents these pictures in their renewed splendour. It features essays and commentaries by Charles Beddington, the global expert on vedute, and by Wallace Collection curator Lelia Packer. Together they provide fresh insights into the artists' creative processes, the dating of pictures and their authorship.

Understand why the wellness industry often makes you less healthy through anxiety and misinformation, how influencers profit from your insecurity, and what actually works based on evidence rather than marketing budgets and attractive Instagram posts from people with different genetics and circumstances.
