An original and luminous depiction of the return of the Bucintoro to Venice on Ascension Day, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the basin with all the boats "dressed" for the festivities around the Bucintoro, flying the standard of the Serenissima. The painting also shows the Doge's Palace and the other palazzi of St Mark's Square. The sky is clear, with a few white clouds on the horizon.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1730. Canaletto created other versions of this work.
