This exceptional pair of views of Venice by Canaletto was painted in around 1734 when he was at the height of his powers as the outstanding Italian view painter of his time. ⁣
⁣
Like most of his finest works of the period, the two canvases were painted for an English patron for whom the merchant Joseph Smith, later the consul in Venice, acted as agent. ⁣
⁣
The pictures depict the Molo from the Bacino di San Marco and the mouth of the Grand Canal from the east. Understandably, both were, and remain, among the most evocative of Venetian subjects. ⁣
⁣
Canaletto never repeated his compositions, but like musicians of his time knew how to vary them, shifting an angle of vision and varying the types and positions of the vessels that contributed so signally to his sense of recession. ⁣
⁣
Canaletto (1697-1768) ‘Venice: The Mouth of the Grand Canal from the East; and The Molo, with the Piazzetta and the Doge’s Palace, from the Bacino’. Estimate: £8,000,000 – £12,000,000. ⁣
