# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Giovanni Antonio Canal was born in Venice on 18 October 1697, trained in the Republic's painting tradition, and adopted the name Canaletto. He built his reputation on vedute — cityscapes of Venice, Rome, and eventually London — though he also worked in capricci, imaginary views where the line between real and invented blurred. From 1746 to 1756 he worked in England, painting London, Warwick Castle, Alnwick Castle, and other sites, finding major success through the merchant Joseph "Consul" Smith, whose Canaletto collection was large enough that King George III bought the entire thing in 1762. He was also an accomplished printmaker in etching. He died in Venice on 19 April 1768, having turned a city into an export.
