{"product_id":"the-view-painters-of-europe","title":"The View Painters of Europe","description":"318 pp. With 255 plates, including 57 in color. The eighteenth century was the age of the Grand Tour in Europe. The view painters, the best-known of whom were the Venetians Canaletto, Guardi and Bellotto, produced a wide range, from grand panoramas to lively genre scenes. These topographical paintings provide a unique and colourful record of everyday life, festivities and customs in the eighteenth century, and of buildings, streets and townscapes long-since vanished. The illustrations, a large number of them in colour, are chosen from pictures in museums and private collections in many countries. They are accompanied and enhanced by a choice of descriptive narratives from the diaries and letters of travellers such as Goethe, Tobias Smollett, Charles Burney, the distinguished Count Francesco Algarotti and the Baron de Pollnitz.","brand":"Phaidon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40541914824774,"sku":"2332365","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2332365.jpg?v=1679583491","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/the-view-painters-of-europe","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
