Canaletto
Born sixteen ninety seven
into an earthly heaven.
Venice had immense wealth, power
the eighteenth century its final hour.
His father in the theatre industry
set design a family proclivity.
Initially trained by his father
then finished with him all together.
Set painting not his style
naturalism more worthwhile
Canaletto's work no mystery
exact paintings for history.
Nothing intellectual to understand
preciseness takes command.
What you get is what you see
Canaletto no visionary.
