For centuries, the gondola was the leading use of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice, having 8‐10,000 gondolas during the 17 th and 18 th century. Their primary role today is to carry tourists on rides at fixed rates, serving as traghetti (ferries) over the Grand Canal as public transportation. Canaletto created many paintings of Venice during his lifetime, some similar to “View of the Bacino di San Marco” but with slightly different perspectives. In this painting, he has produced a wider perspective, however with different colour tones creating a more sunny appearance. The sun is beaming directly onto the view, forming little contrast and resulting with fewer shadows from the buildings. Canaletto created many similar perspectives like “Palazzo Ducale and the Piazza di San Marco”, perhaps with different weather condition which was useful for propaganda and in perfecting the perfect view. Canaletto, Palazzo Ducale and the Piazza di San Marco c. 1755 Oil on canvas, 51 x 83 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence
Canaletto painted Piazza San Marco from many different angles. This painting, which was originally in the collection of Prince of Liechtenstein, is now currently displayed in California. Piazza San Marco is the official centre of Venice where throughout the centuries, tourists all around the world come and celebrate and work in the offices of the state. Canaletto creates a sense of topographical detail into his composition with the sunlight coming from the right‐hand side. It shines onto the gothic architecture. Canaletto “View of Venice with St Mark’s” c.1735. Oil on canvas 46cm x 63cm. Displayed in Huntington Art Collection, San Marino, California, USA. He portrays Doges Palace in the background on the left with a geomantic, architectural structure, which is hidden behind the Basilica Byzantine Cathedral in the foreground of the image. Although, Canaletto manages to illuminate it with sunlight, still bringing it to the surface, making it central so it is still recognised and stands‐ out from the angle of the view.
