This canvas belongs to a group of paintings formerly attributed to an anonymous painter called the Master of the Langmatt Foundation after a set of vedute in the Langmatt Foundation, Baden. The hypothesis that Apollonio Domenichini could be the painter of this body of finely executed and distinctive vedute was debated by scholars of Venetian painting. However, it was only with the discovery of a lost inscription on the reverse of an original canvas under the lining of a painting that it was possible to definitely identify Domenichini as the painter of the Langmatt views.
