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.

:-) Yes, I think.. think? copyright might be no problem...
Fun you bring that up as I dreamed about this problem tonight.
