Famous Paintings of Canaletto - Grand Canal in Venice from Palazzo Flangini to Campo San Marcuola (c.1740)

 Canaletto's hometown of Venice was his lifelong muse. He made at least three versions of this view of the Grand Canal. Carefully documenting every window, door, and chimney along the street, Canaletto captures the peculiarities of this magical city on water, its stately architecture, shimmering lights, and in scattered human figures and gondolas, the routine of daily life. The almost photographic precision of his paintings made them especially popular with tourists, who bought them as souvenirs of their trips to Italy.
