• Resumen

  • Bernardo Belloto's early stylistic development was discussed in the first part of this article, in which several new attributions were suggested, mostly works which had previously been assumed to be by Canaletto. In this article it is suggested that a group of paintings, most of which have at one time or another been given to Bellotto, are, conversely, the work of an anonymous painter for whom the sobriquet the ‘Lyon Master’ is here proposed. This artist is distinct from Bellotto’s only known pupil in these years, his brother Pietro, to whose Venetian period some attributions are also advanced.
