The Grand Canal in Venice with Palazzo Bembo, about 1768. Additional Info: A luminous morning haze bathes Venice's Grand Canal. Guided by oarsmen, gondolas and cargo boats glide through the placid water; their hulls traverse the gentle reflections cast by the surrounding buildings. Masts and vertical pilings punctuate the pale, overcast sky. Buildings of varying shapes and scale - but all sharing a muted palette - extend from edge to edge and deep into the distance. On the right, a few early-risers mill about on the banks of the canal.
