Francesco Guardi (1712–1793) was an Italian painter who belonged to the Venetian School of Painting. His earlier works were influenced by his collaboration with his brother, Gian Antonio. Eventually he began to develop his own style which was characterized by loose brushstrokes. Guardi’s paintings would later inspire many artists during the Impressionist movement.
