View of the Ducal Palace in Venice
CanalettoBefore 1755
Uffizi Gallery
Florence, Italy
The painting has been in the gallery since 1796. This view of the lagoon with Piazza San Marco in the background was one of the artist's favorite points of view which he repeated several times. The painting was done before 1755 because the Clock Tower visible across the Piazza does not yet have the changes made to it that same year.
