Well I ahve to laugh at myself again.  It turns out there was only one 
Canaletto and the group I thought were by him were actually by Guardi. 
Never-the-less I made a couple of dozen sketches from figure groups in 
the Canaletto ( View of St Mark's ) and came to a humble appreciation of 
the balance he strikes between explicit and suggested detail.  This 
balance is weighted much more toward the explicit in raytracing I think. 
  Anyway I will take a stab at improving my figures.  It is going to 
lead to heavier meshes and higher res bitmaps though.
