Bacino di San Marco with San Giorgio and the Giudecca
1770-74
Oil on canvas, 69 x 94 cm
Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice
One of the artist's favourite subjects, enlivened here by his typical flittering play of slender brush strokes. The work was completed before 1774, the year in which the characteristic roofing of the bell tower of San Giorgio collapsed.
