An original and luminous view of the church of Santa Maria della Salute, with a detail of the Punta della Dogana, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the Grand Canal with its boats, some of them at the quayside and landing stage, with scenes of everyday life. On the left stands the church of Santa Maria della Salute, softly veiled by the sunset light, while on the opposite side Venetian palazzi stand side by side along the bank of the Grand Canal. The sky is clear with a few pinkish-white clouds on the horizon.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is undated and is on display at Culzean Castle, Maybole, Scotland. Other variants of this work exist.
