On February 15, the Museum of Kyoto opened the “Canaletto and the Splendour of Venice,” with the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum contributing six works from its collection to the exhibition. Three are by Giovanni Antonio Canal—“Camera Obscura” (1790); “View of the Piazza Navona, Rome” (1750/51)”; and “View of the Palazzo del Quirinale, Rome” (1750/51)—and the rest by Francesco Guardi (“Capriccio of Architecture with a Square,” 1759); William James (“At a pier in Schiavone, Venice,” ca. 18th century); and Eugène Boudin (“The Grand Canal, Venice,” 1895). The exhibition will run until April 13.
