An original and rare 18th-century view of the church of the Redentore and that of San Giacomo, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground on the left is the Church of the Redentore, overlooking the Grand Canal with its fine dome and flight of steps, while the church of San Giacomo on the right is "obscured" by a sailing ship under way. The water of the canal is painted in shades of light green and blue. Between the two churches are the palazzi of Venice, set side by side.
The sky is clear with a few clouds on the horizon. The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1747. Canaletto created other versions of this work.
