View of the Cannaregio Canal is a small oil-on-canvas painting executed ca.

It is now in the reading room of the Frick Art Reference Library alongside the Regatta in Venice.

In the painting, Guardi captures a typical scene of Venetian life on the canals.

The bridge’s arch acts as a viewfinder, focusing the viewer’s gaze onto the tiny patch of pure blue, breaking up the otherwise entirely urban landscape.

It is recognizable by its circular window below the roof and placement behind the Ponte dei Tre Archi.
