Notes

Piazza San Marco, the principal square of Venice, was a subject Canaletto painted at least a dozen times in the 1720s and 1730s (Fahy 2005, pp. 59–60).

Canaletto's vantage point for this bird's-eye view was a window on an upper floor of the Procuratie Vecchie, slightly to the north of the center line of the piazza, where the Procuratie abutted San Geminiano, the small church that was demolished in 1807 to make way for the Napoleonic wing of the Palazzo Reale.
