View from the Artist no.5 - answer
October 19 2011
Well done to those who got the correct answer, it was of course Canaletto's view of Northumberland House painted in 1752.
After sales to British tourists nosedived in the 1740's following the War of the Austrian Succession, Canaletto decided to move closer to his market, arriving in London in 1746 and remaining here until 1755.
AHN points to the lucky few.
