Grand Canal: from Santa Maria della Carità to the Bacino di San Marco. Early 1730s. Canaletto. (For those who do not know him, I should state that his full name is Giovanni Antonio Canale, but is known as Canaletto. I love his style, and his forms of "blue" just as I love--really love--the forms of "green" in the works of Pissarro--more on him, and by him, later).
