Sir John Soane's three Canalettos the 'Riva degli Schiavoni', the 'Piazzo di San Marco', and the 'Rialto Bridge' are among the most celebrated works of art in his Museum. The 'Riva degli Schiavoni' is regarded as one of half a dozen finest works by Canaletto in existence. In this volume all three works are fully described in the context of Canaletto's other work with numerous colour illustrations.
