About the piece

In this 1746 work, Venetian master Canaletto applies his celebrated precision to the English landscape. The painting captures the architectural grandeur of Eton College rising from the horizon, anchored by a large, sweeping tree and the tranquil activity of boatmen and figures along the riverbank.
