Despite being one of the world's most romantic cities, Paris and Rome raced, Venice, Italy, gained its current momentum and historical weight because it was a global trading center before becoming a lover's kiss.
The Italian water-based city was once one of the world's largest trading powers, and was even a melting pot of trade between the Muslim world and the medieval Byzantine Empire.
It has gained its historical reputation not only because of its delicate position between the ancient Muslim world and the Western Christian bloc, but also because it is several small islands linked by waterways and bridges to be a spectacular aesthetic view.
The historic Renaissance buildings have made the city more like a window into the ancient world, still open today, and even attract tens of thousands of tourists every year.
Several paintings dealt with the panoramic historical appearance of the city, depicting the grandeur of the buildings and the means of transport used (boats) old and new, but there are still certain painters immortalized the paintings of the historical fragrant city.
Perhaps the most famous of these is Giovanni Antonio Canal (18 October 1697-19 April 1768), known as Canaletto, an Italian painter active in the Baroque era, and famous for painting marine landscapes of Venice.
One of the most famous paintings of Venice is his portrait, "The Entrance to the Grand Canal of Venice" (1730), which is currently on display at the Houston Art Gallery.
Italian painters are not the only ones who are fascinated by the beauty and charm of the city and immortalized it.
The painting is a visual testimony to several architectural buildings characteristic of the city and the nature of life in that period. It also reflects the amount of talent Hollande has been able to draw the water surface with boats and buildings around him and the sky above them accurately and clearly.
In the same vein, Dutch painter Kaspar van Wittel (1653–1736) was one of her most admirers in the city, and his portrait of Venice of San Giorgio, painted in 1697, was a huge shift in topography.
He himself played a pivotal role in the development of this kind of map-like architectural perspective. He is even credited with turning topography into a high-precision art discipline of Italian art as a whole. The topography of the geographical terrain of a land or water with a representation of the features of the place accurately represented by its natural and human elements.
Despite being Dutch, he spent almost all his life in Italy, where he arrived in 1674 and died in 1736. He lived mainly in Rome. It was painted in Florence, Bologna, Ferrara, Venice, Milan and Naples.
There is also the French painter Antoine Bouvard Senior, known as Marc Alden (1870-1956). He is an architect who studied art and architecture in Constantinople. His paintings reflect his love for the gun where he painted it delicately and smoothly until he became famous for the gun of the gun.
Alden, using his painting "Sunrise on Venice", used warm colors and presented it as a magical dream that embraces in its picturesque nature. Because of his many portraits of the city he was among the most famous painters of Venice themes. He was honored as one of her sons despite his French citizenship.
The fifth painting "A View of Venice", 19th-century oil painting, despite the quality and accuracy of its high detail, the identity of the painter is still unknown. Venice is depicted from a panoramic loft perspective with a good evocation of the architectural details of the buildings.
Venice has been and remains one of the most important cultural and artistic landmarks around the world, making it the kiss of a huge number of tourists and inspiring a large number of authors and artists, not only in the field of plastic arts but also literature, such as Marco Polo and Casanova.
Over the years, and the abandonment of modern transport in the Canal area, historic buildings and small boats used to navigate the waterways remain a distinctive feature of the country and a magnet for visitors.
