You see a painting of a church, S. Giorgio Maggiore, in the background with boats in the foreground. The artist, Michele Marieschi, painted this in 1741. He was known for his landscapes and city scenes, often focusing on Venice. This painting is a good example of 18th-century Italian art, and to learn more about similar works, look up the technique of sfumato.
