The Entry of the French Ambassador in Venice in 1706. Luca Carlevarijs (1665-1731) oil on canvas, 1706-1708. Large-scale painted views of Venice were very popular among tourists and collectors throughout the 18th century. In this early example of this genre, the city's buildings provide the backdrop of an important event, the ceremonial entry of the French ambassador, Henri Charles Arnauld de Pomponne. His elaborately decorated gondolas are mooring along the quay before the Doge's Palace.
