Collection Highlights: Two view of Venice by Canaletto

These two large views are among Canaletto’s finest paintings. Both represent the Bacino di San Marco – Venice’s inner harbour of Saint Mark’s – from opposite vantage points; Canaletto often depicted famous places in Venice from opposite views. They were acquired by the 1st Marquess of Hertford, one of the founders of the Wallace Collection, and can be found in the Wallace Collection’s Great Gallery.

Music by David Hilowitz.
