(8124) Guardi Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 26 March 1971 by van Houten, C. J., van Houten-Groeneveld, I., Gehrels, T. at Palomar.
Painter Francesco Guardi (1712-1793) was influenced by Pietro Longhi and Canaletto. Guardi's style is more impressionistic, however, and he plays with the colors of light in the Venetian atmosphere more than Canaletto. His paintings are typical of the Rococo style.Naming citation (19990402/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
