A rare 18th-century depiction of the Brenta canal at Padua by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. The canal is bounded by retaining walls. We are at the start of the Riviera del Brenta: on the right a Venetian villa can be admired, while on the left modest dwellings and scenes of everyday life are shown above the high wall.
The sky is clear, with a few clouds on the horizon. The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1735.
