Also at the National Gallery of Art is an exhibit of Venetian drawings. It's a great compliment to the Renaissance of Venetian Painting exhibit. It begins with a work by Andrea Mantegna executed in the 1460's and continues into the cusp of the 20th century with works by John Singer Sargent.
This image is by Canaletto who's very name is synonymous with Venice. Here he depicts the city during the Ascension Day Festival in 1766.
It's a nice show; well, worth the effort. Three more images follow....
