An original and luminous depiction of the return to the Bacino di San Marco on Ascension Day, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the basin with all its boats "dressed" for the festival, and the people on the Molo. The painting also depicts the Doge's Palace and the other buildings of Piazza San Marco. The sky is clear, with a few light pink clouds on the horizon.
The picture, an oil on canvas, is dated 1754. Other variants of this work by Canaletto exist.
