Der Canal Grande vor Santa Croce in Venedig

Venice: The Grand Canal facing Santa Croce

This painting was made by Canaletto's talented nephew while he was working in his uncle's studio. Bellotto prepared the composition in a drawing (Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt), which is itself based on a drawing by Canaletto (Windsor Castle, The Royal Collection), attesting to the complex artistic relationship between the two painters.
