An original and rare 18th-century view of the church of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, looking onto the churchyard, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the little square in front of the church of San Giorgio, with scenes of daily life. On the right, set at an angle, rises the church, finely painted by Canaletto in its architectural details. In the background of the painting the Rialto Bridge appears, together with other Venetian palaces. The sky is clear with a few white clouds on the horizon. The picture, an oil on canvas, is undated.
The artwork is on display at the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, USA.
