A rare 18th-century depiction of the Prà (meadow) della Valle in Padua, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. Prominent is the great meadow, crossed by carriages, passers-by and pilgrims to the Santo. On the left side Canaletto paints the church of Santa Giustina and other Paduan buildings. The sky is clear with a few clouds on the horizon, while the right side is devoted to the great meadow.
The picture, an oil on canvas, is dated 1741. Two other variants of this work by Canaletto exist.
