An original and rare 18th-century painting depicting a reception of foreign ambassadors, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the great hall of the Doge's Palace, where the most illustrious dignitaries of Venice have gathered to greet the new ambassadors taking up office in the Republic. The hall features frescoes and a decorated ceiling. The ladies invited to the reception can be recognised by their elegant gowns. The painting, an oil on canvas, is undated. Canaletto produced other versions of this work.
The painting is on display at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, USA.
