Photograph of Guardi's Regatta in Venice at the Frick Art Reference Library

Grand Canal from the Palazzo Balbi. In the distance the Rialto Bridge, bell tower of the San Bartolomeo Church, and dome of the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo can be seen. In the foreground, the paleto of the traditional Ventian regatta is taking place, which is why the boats are turning around and the crowds are cheering.
