The Grand Canal Facing Santa Croce is an oil-on-canvas painting attributed to the Italian painter Bernardo Bellotto, now in the National Gallery in London. [1] It is named after the Church of Santa Croce in the right-hand foreground. Several boats are shown on the Grand Canal, including a burchiello, effectively the link between Venice and Padua.
It probably dates to the late 1730s and based on a drawing by Canaletto ( Windsor Castle, Royal Collection) probably produced in the 1730s. It was produced after Canaletto's death by an artist from his studio, probably his nephew and pupil Bernardo Bellotto. A similar view (also in the Royal Collection) was copied in an engraving by Antonio Visentini, whilst the right-hand part of the painting also appears in Santa Croce on the Grand Canal (National Gallery), attributed to an unknown member of Canaletto's studio.
