This is a view of San Marco & the campanile from beneath the colonnade of the Procuratie Nuove on the south side of the Piazza. One of the figures in the foreground is holding a cup & saucer; nearby (but out of the picture) is the site of the famous Café Florian, a well-known centre of Venetian social life. This painting is a pendant to ' Venice: Piazza San Marco'. The pair are dated on stylistic grounds to about 1756, after Canaletto's final return to Venice. A number of preparatory drawings survive that can be related to this picture (Windsor, Royal Collection; & David Villiers collection; formerly the Reverly collection). These works show compositions which extend further to the left than that of the painting. Additional studies of the figure group include a work in New York (Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lehman Collection), & a drawing formerly in the National Gallery, but now transferred to the British Museum. ...

Numerous versions of the composition exist. ...
