Urbs — Cities in Art
The Grand Canal at Noon
Francesco Almeida · 1741
Almeida's most celebrated veduta — the Grand Canal captured at high noon when the light is hardest and the water holds the sharpest reflections. Every palazzo is individually observed, every vessel named in his sketchbooks. The painting contains forty-seven identifiable boats.
