An original 18th-century view of the Doge's Palace, seen from the side, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the Piazzetta in front of the Doge's Palace, bustling with people. The palace rises on the right of the painting, depicted by Canaletto in great detail. At the quay are moored boats, while others, further off, are manoeuvring on the Grand Canal. The two columns of Venice are also prominent. Further back is the church of Santa Maria della Salute. The sky is clear with a few white clouds on the horizon.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1730. There is a variant of this picture painted by Canaletto.
