About the piece
Created around 1726, this exceptional work by the Venetian master Canaletto depicts the entrance to the Grand Canal as seen from the Western end of the Molo. The composition balances the imposing domes of Santa Maria della Salute with the daily movement of gondolas and figures along the stone quay, all bathed in the soft, characteristic light of the lagoon.
