This image, captured in 1829, showcases the grandeur of Ca Foscari Palace on the iconic Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Built in the 15th century for Doge Francesco Foscari and designed by renowned Venetian architect Bartolomeo Bon, this Gothic masterpiece stands as a testament to the opulence and power of the Foscari family. Located in the Dorsoduro sestieri, or district, of Venice, the palace sits majestically on the waterfront, its imposing facade reflecting in the shimmering canal. The intricate details of the building's exterior, with its ornate arches, intricate carvings, and elaborate balconies, are a feast for the eyes.

Today, Ca Foscari Palace serves a new purpose, as the main seat of Ca Foscari University of Venice. The university, which was established in 1868, continues to uphold the rich history of Venice and its architectural heritage. This stunning engraving by Samuel Prout offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this remarkable building.
