Location: National Gallery of Art, London

About Artwork: (After 1738) "Antonio Visentini engraved 38 paintings by Canaletto in his celebrated Urbis Venetiarum Prospectus, published in 1742 – this popular view was one of them. The collection of prints increased the artist’s fame and spread his work across Europe. This composition was widely reproduced in Canaletto’s studio, including by his precociously talented nephew, Bernardo Bellotto (whose version of this scene is in our collection). Incidental details bring the scene to life. A fisherman is moored up to the right and gondoliers cross the Grand Canal. Along the quay people stroll past the pinkish facade of the church of Santa Croce (demolished in 1810) and head towards the domed church of San Simeone Piccolo, which can be seen up close in the picture painted as a companion to this one. The inscription ‘original del Canaletto’ was uncovered on the back of this picture, but the painting lacks his refinement – it has clearly been painted in his style." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
