“Venice: the Grand Canal from the Palazzo Flangini to San Marcuola” by Canaletto in the West Gallery I of The Wallace Collection, Marylebone, London, England

From The Wallace Collection website:

P506 depicts the upper reaches of the Grand Canal, looking east, with the Palazzo Flangini on the extreme left. On the opposite side of the canal is the Riva di Biasio with the Palazzo Zen and the Palazzo Bembo. The view was popular and exists in a number of versions by Canaletto and his studio: the prime version, engraved by Visentini in 1742, is in the Getty Museum (acquired in 2003). This painting is of almost the same dimensions as the Getty painting, although the boats and figures are different.
