Ippolito Caffi's "Santa Maria dei Miracole e Santa Maria Nova" depicts a charming street scene in Venice. The artist, known for his vedute or cityscape paintings, captures the architectural details of the churches of Santa Maria dei Miracole and Santa Maria Nova, their domes and facades dominating the composition. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a small bridge, a common feature in Venetian landscapes. Caffi's realistic style and meticulous attention to detail transport viewers to the heart of this historic city.
