EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Canaletto's masterpiece, "The Basin of San Marco on Ascension Day" painted around 1740. The oil on canvas artwork, measuring 121.9x182.8 cm, is housed in the prestigious National Gallery in London, UK. In this stunning depiction of Venice during an annual ceremony, we are transported to the bustling basin of San Marco. The scene comes alive with vibrant colors and intricate details that highlight the Venetian architecture and its iconic landmarks. At the center of attention is the majestic bucintoro, a ceremonial boat preparing to depart from Molo. This grand vessel symbolizes power and prestige as it takes part in the wedding of the sea celebration. Gondolas gracefully glide across the lagoon while tugboats navigate through these picturesque waters. The towering campanile and Santa Maria della Salute provide a magnificent backdrop against a clear blue sky dotted with fluffy clouds. On either side, we catch glimpses of Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) and other architectural marvels that define Venice's unique charm. Canaletto masterfully captures both movement and tranquility in this breathtaking painting. Every brushstroke invites us to immerse ourselves in this enchanting moment where history intertwines with daily life on Venice's waterways. This exquisite print by Bridgeman Images allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Canaletto's genius for years to come without any commercial use intentions but rather as an appreciation for fine art
