Francesco Zanin is renowned as a painter of Venetian scenes, and was a faithful follower in the great tradition of vedute established in the previous century by Giovanni Antonio Canal, called Canaletto, and his pupil and nephew Bernardo Bellotto.
In response to the great demand for these types of paintings, Zanin repeated some compositions several times – he executed 33 versions of the view of the Scuola Grande di San Marco (the present is numbered 13), closely following a composition first made popular by Bellotto, whose painting from circa 1740 is today in the Accademia, Venice (inv. no. 494).
