The first Westminster Bridge as painted by Canaletto in 1746.
With his paintings, Canaletto is proud of the deeds of human hands.
Exceptions include Canaletto, who painted outside and may have used the camera obscura.
Sometimes, striving to achieve artistic harmony, Canaletto created a strange space that has little to do with reality.
For that extra bit of luxury, our guests can choose to stay in a superior room with a hydro-massage bath or, for a really special vacation,
in one of the three splendid suites: the Canaletto, Casanova and Conte.
Though the view from its terraced riverfront garden, open to the public, was painted twice on his London visit by Canaletto(looking up-
and downriver), it was used for storage, as a residence for visiting overseas dignitaries and as a barracks for troops.
