Description: | A focal point of the composition is the church of San Simeone Piccolo on the far side of the Grand Canal, with its white temple-fronted façade and dome. The recently built church presents a bold contrast to the dull pinks and ochres of the historic palaces and other buildings which flank it. Although this painting was long recognised as being in the style of the brothers Francesco and Antonio Guardi, it was thought to date from well after their deaths; however, in 1988 it was judged to be closer in date and style to the Guardi than previously believed. | Subjects: | Venice); buildings and gardens (S.
