## Commentary

This small panel depicts a view of the Venetian Lagoon with the Island of San Giacomo di Paludo. It is principally the work of Giacomo Guardi with the hand of his father, Francesco Guardi discernable in parts of the staffage. The painting is executed in the style of Francesco Guardi and shows the great inspiration that Giacomo took from his father. The dominant feature of the painting is the church and convent of San Jacopo di Paludo, both of which were demolished in 1810.
