About the piece
Painted in 1868, this masterful scene offers a vibrant glimpse into 19th-century Venice. The composition elegantly balances the imposing classical facades of the Biblioteca Marciana and the Palazzo Ducale against the iconic granite columns, while the distant silhouette of San Giorgio Maggiore rests across the sparkling lagoon.
