FRANCESCO GUARDI. Venice from the Bacino di San Marco

Venice from the Bacino di San Marco. Artist: Francesco Guardi (Italian, Venice 1712-1793 Venice). Dimensions: 48 x 60 in. (121.9 x 152.4 cm). Date: ca. 1765.
The view is among the most famous that Venice affords and shows the harbor basin and shipping, and the waterfront from the Mint, at left, to the incomplete façade of the church of the Pietà and beyond. Toward the left are the library, the bell tower and the clock tower, San Marco, the twin columns of the Piazzetta, and the patterned brickwork façade of Palazzo Ducale. The painting is a fairly early example of Guardi's work in this specialized genre.
