An original and luminous depiction of the Bacino di San Marco on Ascension Day, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the basin with all its boats, some moored at the shore, while others are sailing along the Grand Canal. The painting depicts the Doge's Palace, the campanile of San Marco and the other buildings of the square. The sky is clear, with a few white clouds on the horizon. The picture, an oil on canvas, is dated 1740. Other variants of this work exist.
The painting is on display at the National Gallery, London, UK.
