Object history

acquired by Thomas Brand of The Hoo, Kimpton, Hertfordshire, as one of a set of four in the 18th-century
sold in 1953 to the Matthiesen Gallery in London
and then went into a private collection in Geneva

from which it was acquired by the present European owner circa 1973.
Notes This painting originally formed part of a set of four that date to the 1730s, the decade when Canaletto produced what is generally regarded as his most 'characteristic' work, and the catalogue notes that this work "would undoubtedly be better known had it not been hidden from public view," adding that "The only other painting of the present subject accepted...as a work of Canaletto was a much larger canvas (45 x 60 in.) seen...at Castle Howard, but destroyed in the fire there in November 1940 and only known from a photograph in the Castle Howard archives."
