Description from the seller
Iconic art print after Antonio Canaletto – “Piazza San Marco in Venice” (1724)
Available is a high-quality, large-format art print after one of the best-known motifs of the Italian veduta painter Antonio Canaletto.
Canaletto is among the most important artists of the 18th century and is regarded as a master of veduta painting. His detailed and atmospherically dense views of Venice continue to receive international recognition and are among the most sought-after city views in European art history.
The motif “Piazza San Marco” ranks among his most iconic depictions and shows the heart of Venice with impressive clarity and perspective. Canalettos ability to fuse architecture, light, and spatial effect with nearly photographic precision makes his works unique and gives them an extraordinarily high recognizability.
The present antique lightprint (Lichtdruck) impresses with its fine detail reproduction as well as its strong visual presence. Large-format representations of this motif are very popular with collectors and lovers of classic cityscapes and create a striking impact in sophisticated interiors.
The exceptional format emphasizes the impact of the composition and makes this work a distinctive focal point with classical elegance.

Lichtdruck (Light Print):
The Lichtdruck is a historic photographic printing process from the 19th century, valued for its exceptional image quality. It was developed by Alphonse Poitevin and long regarded as one of the most precise methods for reproducing photographs and works of art. It is characterized by the use of a light-sensitive gelatin layer that enables the finest tonal gradations without visible halftone.
These seamless transitions and the impressive depth of detail make Lichtdrucks especially appealing to this day. Unlike modern printing methods, the images appear soft, vibrant, and nearly photographic – a quality attribute appreciated by collectors and art lovers. Moreover, the Lichtdruck is a meticulous craft that requires a great deal of experience and is nowadays practiced only rarely.
This combination of technical refinement, limited availability, and art-historical significance gives Lichtdrucks a high collector’s value. For the art market, they are therefore an interesting and value-retaining category for discerning purchasers.

Seller's Story
We have been operating several online shops in the art trade for over 20 years. On the one hand, we specialize in rare art prints, exhibition posters and collectible reproductions, and on the other hand, we trade in art editions and originals by well-known contemporary artists.
The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner.
We place particular emphasis on professional packaging. Nothing is more annoying than purchasing a rare print that arrives damaged due to poor or inadequate packaging.
If you have any questions about the works on offer, we are always happy to help you!
