The work

The painting, originally part of the Turin collection of the lawyer Martelli and purchased by the Museum in 1871, is attributed mainly to Canaletto, with the exception of a brief mention by Giulio Ferrari (1914) who linked it to Bernardo Bellotto, a hypothesis considered an error. The work was praised by Jacobsen and exhibited in 1922 in Florence. Constable (1962) considered it youthful for the dramatic use of light and shadow and linked it to views in the Pillow collection in Montreal (1725-26). Other versions of the subject are known from various collections, including the Kress Foundation, Chatsworth and Windsor.

Critics such as Puppi (1968) and Gabrielli (1971) confirmed the attribution to Canaletto, despite some repainting. Magugliani (1976) included the work in the group of views for Stefano Conti and the Thurkow collection. In 1987, it was exhibited in Turin to illustrate Canaletto's working method, which used mirrors and optical chambers to compose views that were varied but faithful to reality. Vallès-Bled (2000) and Kowalczyk (2005) emphasized the use of chiaroscuro and the recurrence of the theme of the Pier, with compositional variations in other versions, such as the copper version by Sir William Morris and a canvas in the Hermitage.
