An original and luminous 18th-century capriccio with Venetian motifs, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. We are in the Venetian lagoon: Canaletto paints a farmhouse in the foreground, with a little church not far off in the background. A bridge leads to it, and fishermen are near the shore. In the distance, on an island at the far end, a tower can be seen, while further still the lagoon meets the sky, merging into a single soft blue.
The picture, an oil on canvas, is dated 1740. Other variants of this work by Canaletto exist.
