Note du spécialiste

Following the tradition inaugurated by his father, renowned vedutista Francesco Guardi, Giacomo produced fresh watercolors and gouaches for the international clientèle of Grand Tourists. This rather large view of the Lagoon, overlooking at left the island of S. Giorgio with the Basilica and the edge of the Giudecca at right, was executed for this type of collector.
