Antonio Canaletto

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an old, stone wall with a large sign on it. The wall is made of stone and has a decorative top with plants growing out of it. There are two people sitting on steps to the right of the wall. The sign on the wall is large and rectangular, with text written in Italian. The text is divided into several lines and reads: "VEDUTE Altre prese da i Luoghi altre ideate DA ANTONIO CANAL e da esso intagliate poste in prospettiva. umiliate All' Ill. Signor GIUSEPPE SMITH Console di S. M. Britannica appresso la Ser Repubblica di Venezia. In segno di stima ed ossequio". The background of the image shows a cloudy sky, trees, and buildings. A small tower with a statue on top is visible on the right side. The overall atmosphere suggests an old, historical scene.
