Francesco Guardi · 28 Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Italian, 1712–1793

Francesco Guardi was an Italian Rococo painting painter. 166 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art, most of them oil paintings. Francesco Guardi was born in Venice.

Francesco Lazzaro Guardi (Italian pronunciation:; 5 October 1712 – 1 January 1793) was an Italian painter, nobleman, and a member of the Venetian School. He is considered to be among the last practitioners, along with his brothers, of the classic Venetian school of painting. In the early part of his career he collaborated with his older brother Gian Antonio in the production of religious paintings.

After Gian Antonio's death in 1760, Francesco concentrated on vedute. The earliest of these show the influence of Canaletto, but he gradually adopted a looser style characterized by spirited brush-strokes and freely imagined architecture.
