This “View of San Giuseppe di Castello” shows us an unusual Venice, with the canal drained and turned into a building site rather than a waterway. In the foreground planks and beams lie on the muddy bed, where some workers move among the temporary structures, telling of the hidden labour that holds the city up.
In the background, the long row of houses and chimneys, with bridges and walkways, conveys a working-class yet dignified neighbourhood, lit by a clear light that highlights the pinkish plaster and the variety of Venetian architectural details.
