Flanking the Grand Canal are more than 170 buildings, most dating from the 13th to 18th centuries. Here we see a relatively slow day on this bustling waterway, where you will commonly see tourists and lovebirds enjoying a serenade from a gondolier. A striking example of Phil's expertise in painting architecture and fastidious attention to detail. A lovely piece for anyone who has been to Italy, or has dreamed of visiting this beautiful city.
