作品描述
St. Paul's Cathedral is a 1754 oil painting by the Italian artist Canaletto. Painted towards the end of his stay in England, the Venetian artist produced a veduta featuring St. Paul's Cathedral in the City of London. While St Paul's had featured in the distance of many of his paintings of the River Thames, this was the only close-up view of the cathedral he produced. It is shown from the north-west with the marble Statue of Queen Anne visible on the right. The rays of the setting sun illuminate the scene.
