EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Michele Marieschi, titled 'The Grand Canal Between San Simone Piccolo and Santa Chiara,' dates back to the 1740s. It is taken from the collection 'Magnificentiores Selectioresque Urbis Venetiarum Prospectus,' published in Venice in 1741. The image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of Venice during the eighteenth century. The Grand Canal, the main waterway of Venice, is the central focus of the print. The canal is lined with magnificent buildings, their facades reflecting in the shimmering water. Two churches, San Simone Piccolo and Santa Chiara, dominate the scene. San Simone Piccolo, a small but significant Baroque church, is located on the left side of the canal, while the imposing Santa Chiara, a Dominican monastery, is on the right. The print also showcases the traditional Venetian mode of transportation - gondolas. Gondoliers, dressed in their distinctive striped shirts and straw hats, are shown skillfully navigating their boats through the canal. The gondolas, with their distinctive shape and elegant design, add to the charm and allure of the scene. This etching is not only a record of Venice's architectural and historical heritage but also a testament to the city's vibrant and bustling life during the eighteenth century. It is a reminder of a time when the Grand Canal was the lifeblood of the city, connecting its various quarters and communities. Michele Marieschi's 'The Grand Canal Between San Simone Piccolo and Santa Chiara' is a valuable addition to any collection of Venetian art or history. It is a beautiful and intriguing piece that invites the viewer to explore the rich history and culture of Venice.
