An original and luminous 18th-century depiction of a Carnival day in Venice, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground are the decorated, colourful boats plying the festive Grand Canal. The sun shines and is reflected in the water of the Grand Canal, painted in shades of pale green and blue. On the left is a palace hung with red and blue drapes. The streets are full of people: all of Venice is celebrating. The sky is clear, with a few white clouds, but the day is fine. The picture, an oil on canvas, is undated.
The painting is on display at the The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, County Durham, UK.
