Description: | An imaginary view based on the islands at the extremity of the lagoon where Venice joins the sea. The landscape is dominated by a ruined arch, behind which stand a jumble of towers with a distant view of the hills beyond. The stillness of the scene is enlivened by figures from everyday life: fishermen in a boat, a woman carrying her basket of washing along the quayside, a little dog, and, further away, a crowd unloading a boat. Cleaning has recently revealed a distant dome to the right of the arch. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Guardi, Francesco (Italian painter, 1712-1793) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8663... | Go to resource |
