Bernardo Bellotto

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Bellotto, Bernardo 

Born Jan. 30, 1720, in Venice; died Nov. 17, 1780, in Warsaw. Italian painter and etcher. Nephew and pupil of A. Canaletto, whose nickname he inherited.

From 1747 to 1767, Bellotto worked in Dresden, Vienna, and Munich and from 1767, in Warsaw. A master of the meticulously accurate architectural landscape, he painted views of Venice, Dresden, Warsaw, and other cities in silvery tones with spare strokes.

Detectives have identified two men - one of whom has since died - as the robbers who stole two paintings - Portrait of Madame Bacelli by Gainsborough and View of Florence by Bernardo Bellotto - in 2001.
As one might expect, there were first-rate works by Tiepolo, Canaletto, and Piazzetta; there was also a small but astounding set of landscape views by Bernardo Bellotto, as well as Jacopo Amigoni's Group Portrait, 1750-52 (now in Melbourne's National Gallery of Victoria), featuring the castrato Farinelli, the most famous singer of his time.
Peter Haley has entered Bernardo Bellotto, twice a winner over a mile for the David Nicholls Racing Club, while Mick Lambert runs Scrooge, a winner on July 22 with Nicky Tinkler up.
