"S. Giustina in Pra della Valle" is a notable artwork by the Venetian painter Giovanni Antonio Canal, commonly known as Canaletto. This 18th-century painting depicts the Church of Santa Giustina located in the Prato della Valle, one of the largest squares in Europe, situated in Padua, Italy. Canaletto, renowned for his landscape paintings or vedute, captures the grandeur of the church's architecture and the vibrancy of the surrounding square with his meticulous attention to detail and mastery of perspective.

The painting is a quintessential example of Canaletto's work during the period when he was highly sought after by patrons, particularly British collectors on the Grand Tour, eager to acquire his views of Italian cities. "S. Giustina in Pra della Valle" showcases the artist's ability to combine architectural accuracy with atmospheric effects, creating a vivid and enduring image of an iconic Venetian landmark.

Canaletto's technique involved the use of the camera obscura to achieve precise outlines and details, which is evident in the crispness of the lines and the accurate rendering of the church's façade and the surrounding buildings. The composition is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye through the scene, with the use of light and shadow enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the space.

As with many of Canaletto's paintings, "S. Giustina in Pra della Valle" not only serves as a visual record of a historical location but also reflects the cultural and social atmosphere of the time. The inclusion of figures in the square, engaged in various activities, adds a sense of liveliness and everyday life to the scene, contrasting with the grand and timeless architecture of the church.

This work is held in high regard by art historians and critics for its contribution to the genre of vedute and its representation of the Venetian landscape. It remains an important piece within Canaletto's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in capturing the essence of the city's architecture and the spirit of the 18th-century Venetian Republic.
