An original and rare view of Venice, with cobalt blue as the dominant colour, of the Grand Canal, made by Bernardo Bellotto. The view looks towards the western Molo, where all the palaces can be seen side by side, beginning with the Doge's Palace. Further in the foreground is the Grand Canal, busy with boats of various sizes. The bell tower of St Mark's soars into the sky, crossed by a few white clouds.
The picture, an oil on canvas, is undated, and a variant exists. It is part of a private collection.
