This print shows a busy Venetian canal lined with tall, narrow buildings. People walk along the edge, and boats—some loaded with goods—float on the water. A tall tower with a flag stands in the distance, while a bridge arches over the canal. The scene looks like a typical day in a city built on water. Notice how the artist used shading to make the buildings and people pop against the sky. The details in the boats and clothing show careful work. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this print is kept.
