An original 18th-century view of St Mark's Square by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is St Mark's Basilica, with the Doge's Palace beside it. In front of these two monuments are the flagpoles for the flags and standards of Venice. The square is enlivened by stalls and scenes of everyday life. The sky is clear and virtually cloudless.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is undated. There is a variant of this picture painted by Canaletto. The work is part of a private collection.
