- This view, framed by the Doge’s Palace on the right, looks across the Piazzetta, past the columns of San Todaro and the library, towards the mouth of the Grand Canal with the church of Santa Maria della Salute and the Dogana (or Customs House) on the opposite bank. The Giudecca with the church of the Redentore are just visible on the left. Together with its pendant (P509), this view was very popular with Canaletto’s patrons and was engraved in 1742 by Visentini for wider dissemination. At least five other sets are known.
The conservation of P509 and P516 has been funded thanks to the 136 donors who gave through Art Happens, Art Fund’s crowd-funding platform. Artfund.org/arthappens
