The Story in the Margin

Painted in the mid-1720s, “The Stonemason's Yard” shows an unusually humble corner of Venice — a temporary stoneyard set up in the Campo San Vidal for a church facade under construction, with laundry strung between windows and neighbors going about ordinary chores. Canaletto (Giovanni Antonio Canal, 1697–1768) painted this early masterpiece before turning to the grander, more polished Venice scenes that made him famous, and it's now considered the picture where “Canaletto became Canaletto.” It has hung in the National Gallery in London since 1828.

Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.
