Known for his accurate depictions of Venice, Francesco Zanin's works follow the artistic tradition of Canaletto (1697-1768) and Francesco Guardi (1712-1793). Influenced by these two great Venetian artists, Zanin depicted daily events in Venice, particularly focusing on its mesmerizing architecture. The loose brushstrokes in his works capture the allure of Venice.
