# View of Piazza San Marco with the Basilica, Venice [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DOMENICHINI, Apollonio]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 76 x 128 cm ## Commentary View of Piazza San Marco with the Basilica, Venice c. 1744 Oil on canvas, 76 x 128 cm Private collection This canvas belongs to a group of paintings formerly attributed to an anonymous painter called the Master of the Langmatt Foundation after a set of vedute in the Langmatt Foundation, Baden. The hypothesis that Apollonio Domenichini could be the painter of this body of finely executed and distinctive vedute was debated by scholars of Venetian painting. However, it was only with the discovery of a lost inscription on the reverse of an original canvas under the lining of a painting that it was possible to definitely identify Domenichini as the painter of the Langmatt views. ## Related artworks - [The Return of the Bucentaur on the Festa dell'Ascensione]() - [View from the Giudecca, Venice]() - [View of Piazza del Pantheon in Rome]() - [View of Piazza San Marco, Venice, Looking North]() - [View of the Grand Canal, Venice]() - [View of the Grand Canal, Venice]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
