St. Mark’s Square as seen from the Basin:
The composition opens with the two columns of St. Mark’s Piazzetta, adorned with the statues of St. Todaro and the Lion Marciano, flanked by the Doge’s Palace and the Libreria Marciana. St. Mark’s bell tower and the Basilica loom in the background, while elegant figures and commoners animate the scene.
The work exhibits the mastery of Giovanni Grubacs, an interpreter of the Venetian vedutistica tradition, capable of fusing the lessons of Canaletto and Guardi with a more modern and luminous chromatic sensibility.
