A rare 18th-century engraving of the Prà della Valle in Padua, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. The great meadow stands out, crossed by carriages, wayfarers and pilgrims to the shrine of St Anthony. On the right Canaletto depicts some Paduan palazzi. The sky is clear with a few clouds on the horizon, while the left-hand side is given over to the great meadow.
The engraving is undated. Other variants of this work by Canaletto exist.
