FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.


Giovanni Antonio Canal was the son of a theater scenery painter, and, early in his life, his father introduced him to art by recruiting him to be his assistant. Even though the artist is known worldwide as a Venetian painter, and was also born in Venice, he started his career as a theater scenery painter in Rome. When he was a teenager, his father took him and his brother to work beside him.
It was around this time, and Canaletto met and got interested in the work of the architect Giovanni Paolo Pannini, also a prominent artist of his time. Because of his experience, his artistic work was heavily based on architectural scapes, and that is a characteristic that influenced Canaletto’s works forever. Many researchers and specialists consider his early work more relevant as it has a closer relationship with the city’s architecture.
In 1719, he came back to Venice and decided to become an artist. Luca Carlevarijs took him in as an apprentice and Canaletto throve, as his pieces followed the master’s delicacy and attention to detail. Luca Carlevarijs shared more than his knowledge with Canaletto, and soon his art dealers were requesting more fragments from the apprentice than from the master.
Canaletto’s career started in Venice, but he produced important pieces around Europe, especially London, where he lived a good couple of years.
At the beginning of his career, Canaletto spent many years portraying the city of Venice. Many of his paintings show similar views of Venetian ports, boats, and the traditional gondolas framed by classical buildings that still distinguish the quaint city. It was later in his career that he explored different scapes and new points of view. In 1746 he moved to London and explored other different towns as a subject matter.
View of Dresden, the Frauenkirche shows a vast and empty street. The sunlight and the emptiness of the street suggest an early morning when not many people are roaming around. The first thing the observer will notice is a large building to the left, the focal point of the piece.
On the other side of the street, there are more modest buildings. The one-point perspective leads to a more prominent, busier road. The gorgeous piece is a beautiful representation of Dresden back in the day.
