939, 940. VENICE: THE PIAZZETTA, AND THE DUCAL PALACE.

_Canaletto_ (Venetian: 1697-1768). _See 127._

Canaletto's representation of the central spot of Venice. In 939 is

the Piazzetta, the little Piazza or square, in front the church of

St. Mark, with its bell towers; on the left are the mint and library;

on the right is the ducal palace. This appears again in 940, with the

famous column of St. Mark, patron saint of Venice, while beyond it is

the Ponte della Paglia, the prisons, and the Riva degli Schiavoni.
