About
Giambattista Brustolon was a printmaker from Belluno, Italy, who used a combination of etching and engraving in his reproductive prints. Employed by the best Venetian publishers, he was well known for his works after Canaletto: views of Venice, published in 1763, and scenes of ceremonies and festivals, published around 1770.
