The Scuola di San Marco, decorated with paintings by Gentile Bellini and Carpaccio, the large Dominican church of SS Giovanni e Paolo, and Verrocchio's statue of the famous condottiere Bartolomeo Colleoni, were among the best-known monuments of Venice; the combination of the three in one composition therefore made perfect sense. Carlevaris had included a this view in his series of etchings entitled Le Fabriche, e Vedute di Venetia of 1704.
