Beautiful painting


 This beautiful painting of the Grand Canal in Venice is by Canaletto came up on my laptop screen saver the other day and  I thought I would share it with  you, it is from the 1730s so it should be ok in terms of copyright.  It is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

I was fortunate to visit Venice once, instantly recognizable.

Fun you bring that up as I dreamed about this problem tonight.

Beautiful indeed. We were but in Tuscany.
