An original, bright 18th-century depiction of a capriccio, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the tall column, watching over the whole territory. It is a wayside shrine on the side of a road leading to a town. Near the shrine are people, with scenes of everyday life. Not far away is a ruined archway, and further off a bell tower can be seen. In the background, meanwhile, is the river, crossed by bridges, and the town.
The sky is clear, without clouds, and the day is fine. The picture, an oil on canvas, is dated 1754. Three variants of this work exist.
