With Maurice Segoura, Paris, from whom acquired.
This painting is based on a design in the work formerly with Bellesi, London,1 itself replicating a design by Canaletto in the canvas formerly in the Albertini collection, Rome.2 The present composition, and that in the Bellesi painting, differ from Canaletto's design in the staffage, viewpoint (which is expanded here to include the campanile of San Giorgio Maggiore), and in the inclusion of several more canvas booths on the quay in the foreground, in addition to circular tents before the Public Granaries beyond.
