You see a painting of a Venice street scene with a church in the background. The artist included people going about their daily business, which adds a sense of life to the scene. This attention to everyday detail is interesting because it shows what Venice was like in the 18th century. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Michele Marieschi (Italian, 1710–1743).
