An original and rare 18th-century view of Campo San Geremia, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the Grand Canal, plied by boats of various sizes. The artist has painted the water in shades of pale greenish blue. On the left side of the painting is the bell tower of San Geremia, with a small landing stage, while on the other side of the canal we can see Palazzo Labia. The two parts of the district are joined by a bridge with a single great arch. The sky is clear, but with a few clouds on the horizon.
The picture, an oil on canvas, is undated. Other variants of this work by Canaletto exist; it is part of a private collection.
