Description: | This painting, skillfully executed, shows a view of the church of S. Maria della Salute, from the opposite shore of the Grand Canal in Venice. Several gondolas are depicted on the canal in the foreground. The composition is unusual, as both banks of a canal were usually depicted. The buildings are realistically depicted, showing details such as the intricate carvings of the church's façade. The high quality of this painting suggests an artist close to Canaletto's workshop. | Subjects: | place (Venice); buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Canaletto (Italian painter, 1697-1768) Æ Attributed to school of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8452... | Go to resource |
