This is a vintage print from the 18th century, attributed to the famous Remondini printing house in Bassano, active between the 17th and 19th centuries. The engraving represents an impressive perspective view of Piazza San Marco in Venice, with a particular focus on the Basilica of San Marco and the Campanile.
The scene is organized with great architectural precision, emphasizing the symmetries of the square: the long Procuratie Vecchie and Nuove develop on the sides, framing the central space and leading the gaze towards the elegant façade of the basilica. The presence of human figures, depicted with realistic details while walking or stopping in the square, adds vitality and dynamism to the composition.
The engraving is made with great technical mastery, using chiaroscuro to give depth to the scene and highlight the decorative details of the basilica and surrounding buildings. The central linear perspective guides the viewer's gaze towards the fulcrum of the composition, represented by the famous Campanile of San Marco.
