An original, bright 18th-century view of the River Thames in London, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. The scene is portrayed from a terrace on the left bank of the river (at the bottom of the painting), with the great river plied by boats of every kind. On the right bank, by contrast, London unfolds, with its palaces and churches in the English style. The sky has a few clouds on the horizon, drawn by Canaletto with shades of pink, but the day remains serene.
The work, an oil on canvas, is dated 1747.
