An original and rare 18th-century view of Campo Santi Apostoli, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the great bell tower and the small square in front of it with scenes of everyday life. Behind the bell tower stands the church of Santi Apostoli, rebuilt in the 16th century, while along the sides of the square are humble houses. On the left is the bridge giving access to the Campo, leading to the small landing stage. The sky is slightly cloudy, shaded in light blue with white for the clouds.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1730. Canaletto created another version of this work.
