🎼28 July 1741. Antonio Vivaldi, "The Red Priest", passed away aged 63 in his city: Venice. #Vivaldi is considered one of the best composers and virtuoso violinists in the entire history of classical music!
His masterpiece violin concerto The Four Seasons is still today one of the most famous, appreciated and perfomed classical operas all over the world! Vivaldi is also a high influence for all contemporary guitar virtuosos 🎸
Hard to believe, his immortal works and career could happen thanks to his illness (asthma) which prevented Vivaldi to celebrate Massess in Venice: he could live a secluded life as a priest and completely dedicate to his only passion, music! 🎶🎵🎻
In the Chat Room👇you can listen to the complete #FourSeasons, simply magic🤟

👨🎨5 October 1712. Francesco Guardi, one of the most famous Venetian painters was born in Venice.
Francesco Lazzaro Guardi was a nobleman and a member of the Venetian School. He is considered to be among the last practitioners of the classic Venetian school of painting.
He is famous for his "vedute" (views) but differently from those of his contemporary and much more famous #Canaletto which are like a proper photography, his #VeniceViews are evanescent and almost unreal.
It looks like the paintings of #Guardi met the music of his contemporary #Vivaldi: Venice at the peak of its magic!
Not many works of #FrancescoGuardi are held in Venice, the most famous ones are exhibited in other Italian and international museums: like the 3 in the above pictures☝️ which are visitable in Modena Galleria Estense, Paris Louvre, Bergamo Accademia Carrara.
His portrait was made by another great Venetian artist, #PietroLonghi and is held inside the Ca' Rezzonico 1700 Museum in Venice.
