An original and luminous view of the Piazzetta San Marco with a detail of the Column of St Mark, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the Piazzetta in front of the Doge's Palace, busy with people, with the Molo and some moored boats. Further back the island of San Giorgio Maggiore can be glimpsed, with its church and buildings. The sky is a clear, vivid blue, almost without clouds.
The dominant colours of the painting are the azure of the sky and the light blue of the lagoon water. The picture, an oil on canvas, is undated. Other variants of this work by Canaletto exist. The painting belongs to a private collection.
