Canaletto, Giovanni Antonio (1697-1768)
View of London from the north. Ca. 1751. This drawing shows a favourite eighteenth-century view of London from high ground in Islington. St Paul's Cathedral dominates the skyline. The entire town can be seen from the eccentric tower of Hawksmoor's church St John's Horsleydown, south of the river to the east, to Westminster Abbey dominating the west. The Foundling Hospital with its walled forecourt appears in the middle ground on the right hand edge of the sheet, on the northern edge of town. Pen and brown ink, 23.1 x 39.7 cm. Inv. 18,621,213.51.
