Giuseppe Zocchi

Giuseppe Zocchi (1711 - 1767) was active/lived in Italy.  Giuseppe Zocchi is known for Painting.

Known as the "Canaletto of Florence", Giuseppe Zocchi was a painter and printmaker who from an early age was taken under the protection of the Marchese Andrea Gerini, an intellectual and patron of the arts from a noble family which had been settled in Florence since the 14th century.  Gerini sent the young artist to study the work of his contemporaries in Rome, Bologna, Milan and especially Venice, where he remained for almost two years before returning to Florence around 1741.

With the views of Canaletto, Bellotto and Marieschi fresh in his mind, Zocchi almost immediately undertook an extensive project for the Marchese, who had commissioned him to produce two series of etched views of Florence and its environs intended for visitors as mementos of their time in the city.  Zocchi finished the project by the end of 1741, when his compositions were sent off to the best engravers throughout the Italian Peninsula.
