An original and rare 18th-century view of the Grand Canal seen from the Punta della Dogana, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the Grand Canal, plied by boats of various sizes. Canaletto has painted the water in shades of pale green and light blue. Venetian palazzi, barely visible in the distance, overlook the Grand Canal, with San Giorgio seen from the side. The sky is threatening, with dark clouds at the top left and whiter ones in the centre.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1740. Other variants of this work exist.
