About the piece
Painted around 1740 by the master of Venetian vedute, Canaletto, this work depicts the upper reaches of the Grand Canal. The composition is anchored by the elegant Neoclassical dome of San Simeone Piccolo, while various gondolas and transport boats navigate the shimmering waterway, illustrating the vibrant daily life of historic Venice.
