San Cristoforo, San Michele, and Murano from the Fondamenta Nuove, Venice Canaletto Style: Baroque Genre: cityscape Dimensions: 153 x 143.5 cm Location: Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX, US
Canaletto painted this scene in the first phase of his mature work, but before he developed the crisply rendered, light-filled vendute, or city views, that spread his fame throughout Europe. In its dusky, dramatic lighting and mood, the painting looks ahead to 19th-century romantic painting. The view is from the embankment on the northern shore of Venice toward the islands of St. Cristoforo and St. Michele, with their prominent churches in the middleground; in the far distance, we see the island of Murano.
