Description
Lithographic print of painting by Canaletto entitled The Thames from Somerset House, originally painted c.1746-50
The Thames from Somerset House, c.1746-50. Bought by George III, King of the United Kingdom (1738-1820), with the collection of the British Consul in Venice, Joseph Smith.A detail taken from one of a pair of London views painted c.1746-50 while Canaletto was in London. Both views are taken from the terrace of Somerset House; in this detail we look down the river towards the City to St. Paul's Cathedral, completed in 1709, and Wren's forest of new spires. In the pendant to this painting we look in the opposite direction towards Whitehall and Westminster Abbey. The pair were the last paintings and only English views acquired by his friend and patron Consul Joseph Smith.
