An exposition joins in Seville all the best of 18th century of the Italian city. Although it was under a deep political depression, Venice in 18th century knew how to sell its beauty in the different european countries and became in the main attention because of its special ambassadors: its painters.

Settecento veneziano, From Baroc to Neoclassicism is the exposition inaugurated yesterday in Seville’s Bellas Artes Museum. It is formed by 51 pictures of the best 18th century Venetian artists, like Sebastiano Ricci, Gian Antonio Pellegrini, Jacopo Amigoni, Canaletto and Francesco Guardi, among others.

35 pictures had never been in Spain before and you could visit it until 13th September. “The selection has been made taking into account two conditions: the pictures must belong to Italian collections or Museums, and, in second place, the painters had to have any relationship with Spain” told Annalisa Scarpa, the organiser, yesterday in Seville.
