The Grand Canal in Venice from Palazzo Flangini to Campo San Marcuola
''The Grand Canal in Venice from Palazzo Flangini to Campo San Marcuola'' is a painting by Canaletto in the J. Paul Getty Museum.〔(Getty Museum buys 'Rembrandt Laughing': tiny portrait, huge value ), Jori Finkel, The Los Angeles Times, May 9, 2013〕 Painted around 1738, it may have been commissioned by the English merchant and art collector Joseph Smith (1682–1770).
==Description==
The composition depicts the upper reaches of the Grand Canal near the entrance to the Cannaregio Canal. It is a typical example of the ''vedute'' paintings popular with Grand Tour travelers as a visual record of their stay in Venice.
The viewer’s vantage point is in the middle of the canal, surrounded by gondolas, barges, and the buildings lining the banks. Many of the structures depicted by Canaletto still stand today, for example Palazzo Flangini, the building at far left, which retains its off-center entrance portal.〔"(Palazzo Flangini, Venice )", photograph by Gunther H.G. Geick, 2010, retrieved May 10, 2013〕 To the right of the palace, the lantern on the dome of the church of San Geremia is visible, followed by the gabled ''canonica'' (rectory) of San Geremia. The trees appearing over a garden wall mark the corner of the Grand Canal and the Cannaregio Canal, which branches off to the left. The garden belongs to Palazzo Labia, the first building on the Cannaregio Canal, adjacent to San Geremia but hidden from view in the painting. The very last building visible in the background of the painting is Palazzo Vendramin Calergi, partly cut off due to the canal’s curve to the right.
The painting also records the ''traghetto'', a ferry service using row boats that was the primary means of crossing the Grand Canal prior to the construction of most of the bridges that span it today. One such boat is seen departing from the Riva di Biasio in the foreground at right, while another is prominently shown in the middle of the canal.
