About the piece

Painted in 1778, this detailed view by Bernardo Bellotto (Canaletto the Younger) depicts the Cracow Suburb in Warsaw. The composition is anchored by the grand Baroque facade of the Church of the Holy Cross, while the foreground teems with the lively daily life of the Polish capital, from noble carriages to market stalls, rendered with the artist's signature precision.
