A View of the Piazza San Marco in Florence c. 1740s

Giuseppe Zocchi's "A View of the Piazza San Marco in Florence" is a detailed pen-and-ink drawing created around the 1740s. It depicts a scene of daily life in the city, with the Piazza San Marco, a bustling public square, filled with carriages and people going about their day. The drawing showcases the architecture of the buildings surrounding the square, including the Basilica di San Marco, with its distinctive bell tower. This work is a testament to Zocchi's skill in capturing the urban landscapes of 18th-century Italy.
