"The Bacino, Venice, with the Dogana and a Distant View of the Isola di San Giorgio" is a 1706-1712 oil painting by the Venetian artist Luca Carlevaris. This painting depicts the Bacino di San Marco, a body of water in Venice, with the Dogana, a customs house and a notable landmark of the city, on the right, and a distant view of the Isola di San Giorgio in the background. The painting's architectural details, calm waters, and depiction of daily life capture the beauty and grandeur of Venice during the Baroque period. Carlevaris is known for his vedute, panoramic views of cities and landscapes, and this painting is a prime example of his mastery of the genre. This painting, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a valuable resource for studying the architecture, cityscape, and social life of Venice in the early 18th century.
