"Gezicht op een stad met graftombe van een bisschop" (View of a City with a Bishop's Tomb) is an etching by the Italian artist Canaletto, completed between 1707 and 1768. The artwork depicts a view of a city, likely Venice, with a bridge and a river in the foreground. The right side of the etching is dominated by a large architectural structure, possibly a church or cathedral, framed by a series of arches. The composition, with its detailed rendering of the cityscape and architectural elements, is characteristic of Canaletto's work, which is known for its precise portrayal of urban landscapes and its focus on architectural detail. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the beauty and grandeur of the city.
