1760, Francesco Guardi, Venice: The Arsenal -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: The Arsenal was where the ships of Venice's powerful fleet were built. Its main gateway is on the left. A boat passes between two towers beyond, and the chapel of the Madonna dell'Arsenale is visible across the canal. Based on an engraving by another view-painter, this is one of Guardi's earliest views and among the less well-known sights of Venice.
