About the piece
Painted in 1747, this grand architectural view by Canaletto depicts the newly completed Westminster Bridge during the Lord Mayor's Day festivities. The composition meticulously balances the rhythmic arches of the bridge with a lively assembly of gilded ceremonial barges and rowboats, set against the iconic skyline of 18th-century London including Westminster Abbey.
