About Artwork: (1730s) "People are hard at work on boats beside the small island of San Pietro in Castello, the eastern part of Venice. While the nearby district of San Marco was popular with tourists, as it is today, this quieter corner of the city was largely a working-class neighbourhood. Its residents sailed between Venice and the mainland to trade. Close to us, fishermen trail their nets. One boat, its sail being lowered by a man on board, is laden with hay and timber. Further to the left, more trading vessels are at anchor, their sails stirred by a gentle breeze. Beyond is the lagoon, with the Dolomite mountains in the hazy distance. Over an arched wooden bridge, figures walk to and from a small complex of buildings. Until 1807, the church of San Pietro served as the city’s cathedral, while the Basilica di San Marco was the private church of the doge (the Venetian head of state)." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
