Venetian School 18th century

The Entrance to the Cannaregio with the Church of San Geremia and the Rialto Bridge

Oil on canvas (relined). 82 x 116 cm.

Venice! Along with Rome and Florence, the lagoon city was the most important stop for every traveller to Italy in the 18th century, vedute of the city were therefore in great demand. This view shows the parish church of San Geremia on the left and Palazzo Labia in front - one of the most magnificent palaces of the 18th century, still famous today for its frescoes by Giambattista Tiepolo. The composition is based on an engraving by Antonio Visentini and has also been depicted by Pietro Bellotti several times, which is why this atmospheric veduta of high-quality has also been attributed to this artist in the past.
