Small but exquisitely refined Venetian view, painted with delicate precision, depicting the Molo with the Doge’s Palace and the Riva degli Schiavoni. This canvas, inspired by Canaletto’s celebrated model, portrays the Grand Canal bustling with gondolas and other boats, with the palaces of the Serenissima’s power in the background. From the meticulous architectural details to the figures, and even the rendering of the sky and clouds, this view immerses the viewer in the atmosphere of late 18th-century Venice.
