Beyond Venice's Grand Canal, bustling with gondolas and sailing boats, is the church of Santa Maria della Presentazione. Better known as the Zitelle, it was originally attached to a foundling hospital for girls and was built in the 16th century.
This is the pendant to 'Venice: The Punta della Dogana'. Both pictures are thought to have been painted in the 1780s.
