Artnet have published news that a painting in The Wallace Collection, London, which had been thought of as a Canaletto for many years, has been reattributed to his nephew Bernardo Bellotto. The discovery is part of the revelations encountered in new research for the aforementioned book on the collection's Venetian vedute. In fact, the work is now thought to be one of Bellotto's earliest works produced around the time the artist was 16 years old.
