Views of Venice: The Courtyard of the Ducal Palace

Michele Marieschi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a courtyard scene. The courtyard is surrounded by three sides of buildings. The buildings on the left and right have multiple levels with rows of arches on each level. The building on the right has more ornate carvings and details than the one on the left. The building on the left appears to be made of darker stone. In the background, there are two large domed structures. The domes have crosses on top. The courtyard is filled with people dressed in 18th-century clothing. Some people are on horseback. The sky is cloudy. The image is in black and white. The overall scene appears to be a historical depiction of a European city square.
