Miraculous place rented to artist (9)
I believe the answer is:
canaletto
'artist' is the definition.
(Italian painter 1697-1768)
'miraculous place rented to' is the wordplay.
'miraculous place' becomes 'Cana' (site of Jesus turning water into wine).
'rented' becomes 'let' (I've seen this before).
'cana'+'let'+'to'='CANALETTO'
(Other definitions for canaletto that I've seen before include "C 18 Italian artist" , "Master of the canvas" , "old master?" , "Eighteenth century artist associated with Venice" , "One who painted" .)
