An original and luminous view of the island of San Michele in Venice, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the quay on the Grand Canal, with a gondola coming in to moor, and some sailors. On the other side of the canal the town unfolds, with its bell tower and Venetian houses. Further back are a few details of Venice. The sky is clear with a few white clouds on the horizon.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is undated. Another variant of this work exists, on display at the Pushkin Museum, Moscow.
