An original and luminous view of the Piazzetta di San Marco featuring the Column of San Todaro, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the Column of San Todaro, seen from the side, overlooking the Piazzetta. At the foot of the Molo are scenes of everyday life and a few boats. Further back is Punta della Dogana with the fine church of Santa Maria della Salute. The sky is clear but with a few pale pink clouds.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1750. Canaletto created other versions of this work.
