From the collection of Calouste Gulbenkian Museum
Vista do cais com o Palácio Ducal is a 1796 unspecified by Francesco Guardi, a Rococo painting work, held at Calouste Gulbenkian Museum.
This painting shows a cityscape with a large body of water in the foreground. There are several boats on the water, and a few people are visible, some in the boats and others on the shore. The city is depicted in warm, muted colors, with several buildings and a tower visible in the background. The painting has a sense of depth and atmosphere, with the city seeming to stretch out into the distance. The artist has used a range of techniques to create a sense of texture and light, from the rough stone of the buildings to the smooth water of the canal. The painting is held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum.
Francesco Lazzaro Guardi (Italian pronunciation: ; 5 October 1712 – 1 January 1793) was an Italian painter, nobleman, and a member of the Venetian School.
