About the piece

Painted in 1866 by Ippolito Caffi, this exquisite veduta looks toward Ca' Pesaro along the Grand Canal. The work masterfully balances the architectural grandeur of Venice with the lively activity of gondolas and working boats, all bathed in the soft, atmospheric light characteristic of mid-19th century Italian landscape painting.
