"Piazza San Marco" by Canaletto

The most famous view painter of eighteenth-century Venice, Canaletto (Giovanni Antonio Canal) was particularly popular with British visitors. This wonderfully fresh canvas depicts the city’s most emblematic location, the Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square). Canaletto reduced the number of windows in the bell tower and extended the height of the flagstaffs, but otherwise he took few liberties. In fact, his meticulous documentation of a stage in the square’s paving between 1725 and 1727 helps date this painting.
