Guardi’s loose, spirited brushwork distinguishes this work from earlier vedute traditions, utilizing a vibrant color palette to evoke a sense of peacefulness, with blues and greens contrasting warm, golden building tones.

Created in 1765, following Guardi’s shift towards cityscapes after his brother’s death in 1760, the painting is now part of the Gemäldegalerie Berlin’s collection.
