1776
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Piazza San Marco with Doges' Palace is a 1776 by Francesco Guardi, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a grand square with a large building in the center. The building has a long, curved front with many arches and columns. The square is filled with people, and there are boats in the water in front of the building. The sky above is light and airy, with just a few clouds. The painting is done in a style that makes the light and shadows very clear, which helps show the details of the buildings and the people. Look up Romanticism for more art like this.
Francesco Lazzaro Guardi (Italian pronunciation: ; 5 October 1712 – 1 January 1793) was an Italian painter, nobleman, and a member of the Venetian School.
