ABOUT THIS PIECE Rococo Painter Antonio Canaletto's The Basin of San Marco on Ascension Day was created in 1740 and the painting is in National Gallery, London. The original size of the work is 121,9 x 182,8 cm and is made of oil on canvas. Looking across the basin of San Marco, this vast view captures the scale and splendour of a ceremony taking place along the waterfront. Boats carrying spectators and animated gondoliers surround the gold and red state barge or Bucintoro, its upper deck crowded with figures. Every year on Ascension Day, the Bucintoro was rowed out onto the lagoon where the doge (the head of the Venetian state) cast a blessed ring into the water to symbolise the marriage of Venice and the sea. The Artist: Antonio Canaletto (1697 – 1768), was an Italian painter of city views or vedute, of Venice, Rome, and London. Much of Canaletto's early artwork was painted "from nature", differing from the then customary practice of completing paintings in the studio.
