Return of the Bucentaro to the Molo on Ascension Day (detail) 2 is a renowned artwork by the eminent 18th-century venetian painter Giovanni Antonio Canal, popularly known as Canaletto. Painted between 1729-32, it is famous for its intricate detailing and proficiency in representing architectural accuracy. The artwork is a splendid illustration of the festive regatta in Venice on Ascension Day to commemorate the Ceremony of Wedding the Sea.

The event denoted was an annual Venetian holiday where the Doge dropped a gold ring into the sea from the state barge, the Bucentauro, marking the symbolic marriage of Venice to the sea. Canaletto's depiction of this ceremony encapsulates the grandeur and vibrancy of Venice in all its glory. It showcases the Bucentauro returning to the pier known as the 'Molo' after the ceremony, amidst throngs of spectators and a cavalcade of smaller boats.

Canaletto's characteristic application of atmospheric coloration and light, with meticulous attention to details, brings out the vividness of the day and adds a sense of depth and dimension to the painting. The artist's distinct style involves using detailed linear outlines encompassing meticulous architectural structures, with the use of a camera obscura often attributed to his intense detail and realistic representation.

This particular work is one of a series, executed with oil on canvas, and is currently a part of the art collection at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. An iconic representation of Canaletto's oeuvre, this monumental work continues to be praised for its exceptional quality, its rendering of historical events, and its celebration of Venice's prestigious maritime heritage.
