An original 18th-century engraving of the Library in Piazza San Marco, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the Piazzetta with the column of San Todaro, while the building used as a library in the 18th century is painted at an angle. The Piazzetta shows scenes of everyday life; further to the right is the entrance to the campanile of San Marco. The sky is lightly clouded.
The engraving is dated 1740. There are numerous other variants of this work by Canaletto. The engraving is on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA.
