An original and luminous 18th-century view of the Grand Canal, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. Prominent is an entrance gate to the quay, with scenes of everyday life. On the Grand Canal, besides the small boats, there are also large ships, such as the sailing ship at the top left. Further back we again find the church of Santa Maria della Salute. The sky has softly shaded light pink clouds.
The picture, an oil on canvas, is dated 1735. Other variants of this work by Canaletto exist.
