This view of the courtyard of the Doge's Palace was one of the favourite subjects of Michele Marieschi. The subject had been treated in engravings by Luca Carlevarijs, in his Fabriche e vedute di Venetia... (1703), and by Domenico Lovisa, in his Gran Teatro di Venezia... (1720). It is one of the few significant Venetian views that did not become part of the standard repertoire of Canaletto, who only executed one small picture of it late in his career. The composition was probably inspired by Marieschi's engraving of the view from a slightly different viewpoint, published in his Magnificentiores Selectioresque Urbis Venetiarum Prospectus (1741).
