We look through an archway, stood in the shadows just behind a group of figures; it is as if we are walking past them along the colonnade. A vendor surrounded by baskets shows his wares to two gentlemen. A man perched on a barrel turns his head towards us, while another peeps out from behind a pillar.\n\nThe archway focuses attention on the buildings beyond: the Basilica di San Marco, the city’s most sacred church, and to the right, its campanile (bell tower). The paving stones and buildings that line the square recede at a sharp angle, which Canaletto exaggerated, leading our eye deeper into the scene. Dots and swirls of paint pick out people in the distance, creating the impression that we are looking on from afar.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/canaletto-venice-piazza-san-marco\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Venice: Piazza San Marco\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canaletto","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509452706035,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (18 1\/4\" x 14 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509452738803,"sku":null,"price":597.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 7\/8\" x 16 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509452771571,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 1\/4\" x 19 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509452804339,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 3\/4\" x 24 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509452837107,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 3\/8\" x 31 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509452869875,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46\" x 37 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509452902643,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 1\/4\" x 44 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509452935411,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65 1\/8\" x 53 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509452968179,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/PiazzaSanMarco3.jpg?v=1789805726","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/venice-piazza-san-marco-ngal269","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
