Bacino di San Marco from the Puntana della Dogana (1740-1745) by Canaletto

Bacino di San Marco from the Puntana della Dogana is a 1740-1745 oil on canvas painting by Canaletto, now in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.[1] It forms a pair with The Grand Canal looking towards Punta della Dogana from Campo Sant'Ivo (also in Pinacoteca di Brera[2]), with both works produced in the artist's mature period just before his move to London.[3] It shows the Bacino di San Marco (San Marco basin) from punta della Dogana. It is more light-filled than his previous works, with clearer brushwork and showing the scene in the midday sun with more figures than in his earlier work.[4][5]
