An original, luminous view of the Piazzetta San Marco with a detail of the columns of St Theodore and St Mark, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the Piazzetta in front of the Doge's Palace, busy with people, with the Molo and some moored boats. Further back is the Punta della Dogana with the beautiful church of Santa Maria della Salute. The sky is clear but with a few white clouds on the horizon. The dominant colours of the painting are the azure of the sky and the light blue of the lagoon water.
The picture, an oil on canvas, is undated. Other variants of this work exist. The painting is on display at the Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marino, CA, USA.
