View of the Bacino di San Marco from the Punta della Dogana is an oil painting by Canaletto, dated 1743. The work shows the Venetian basin from the famous customs point, painted in the artist’s mature style. It was created around 1740–1745 and now hangs in Milan’s Pinacoteca di Brera. The canvas forms a pair with another Canaletto view of the Grand Canal, both made just before he left for London.
