Francesco Guardi - Piazza San Marco
Summary
The picture is similar to view paintings by Canaletto of the same location. It was originally one of a pair of canvases, the second of which represented the Piazzetta adjacent to Saint Mark's Square. The artist has signed the miniature canvas at lower right, a clever illusionistic device.
Francesco Guardi (Italian, Venice 1712–1793 Venice)
