The Grand Canal above the Rialto
Artist: Francesco Guardi (Italian, 1712–1793)
Original Dimensions: 21" x 33 3/4"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (late 1760s) "Guardi depicts Venice’s Rialto Bridge with the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi at center and a vegetable market beneath a series of canopies on the right. The seemingly arbitrary cropping of buildings creates an effect of snapshot-like immediacy; the open windows tempt the eye inside, even as the composition unfolds across the vista of the Grand Canal with its flurry of gondolas. This work, which was among the earliest purchased by The Met, in 1871, was conceived as one of a pair, with a pendant view representing the church of Santa Maria della Salute, located at the end of the Grand Canal." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
