An original and luminous 18th-century depiction of St Paul’s Cathedral in London, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the great church with its two-tier colonnade, twin bell towers and great central dome. In the small square in front of the church are scenes of everyday life. The sky is clear, but there are a few deep pink clouds on the horizon.
Canaletto created other variants of this work. The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1754. The work is on display at the Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection, USA.
