About the piece

Painted in 1742 by the celebrated Venetian master Canaletto, this work captures the vibrant life at the entrance to the Grand Canal from the Molo. The composition features the iconic dome of Santa Maria della Salute against a soft, expansive sky, while the foreground bustles with elegantly rendered figures and maritime activity.
