About Artwork: (After 1738) "We look across the Grand Canal towards the facade of the domed church of San Simeone Piccolo, completed in 1738 – it dwarfs the surrounding houses and a small workmen’s hut to the left. People potter along the quayside and climb the church’s steps to take a closer look. On the canal, several gondolas pass a fishing boat, their oars stirring the rippling water. This small work lacks the refinement of Canaletto’s paintings; it is considered an imitation of his style. For a comparison, look at the way Canaletto could evoke a face in just a few brushstrokes in Venice: The Grand Canal with San Simeone Piccolo, versus the excessively simplified faces and figures here. This composition may derive from an original painting by Canaletto, its location now unknown. Canaletto’s detailed sketch in the Royal Collection at Windsor shows a similar view, but the steps leading to the entrance of the church are unfinished and surrounded by pieces of stone." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
