About the piece
This mid-18th-century painting by a follower of Canaletto depicts the upper reaches of the Grand Canal in Venice. The composition features the church of Santa Croce on the right bank, with various gondoliers and figures navigating the waterway under a wide, airy sky. The work captures the light and architectural rhythm characteristic of Venetian veduta painting.
