An original and luminous depiction of the Doge’s Palace before 1755, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the basin with all the boats, some of them moored at the quayside, while others are sailing along the Grand Canal. The painting depicts the Doge’s Palace, the bell tower of St Mark’s and the other buildings of the square. The sky is clear, with a few white clouds on the horizon. The painting, an oil on canvas, is undated. Other variants of this work exist.
The painting is on display at the Louvre, Paris, France.
