Return of the Bucentoro to the Molo on Ascension Day (1730) by Canaletto. The Bucintoro was the big ceremonial boat of the Doge, the ruler of the Venetian republic. Once a year on Ascension Day, the Doge and other officials boarded this vessel to participate in a ritual celebrating the marriage of Venice and the sea.

Thank you. I love this series of Canaletto paintings (I'll add another one 馃憞) but the light and contrast of the first painting you mention is simply spectacular.
