"The Molo, Looking West, With The Ducal Palace And The Prison" is a renowned 18th-century oil painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto. This work is part of a series of vedute, or detailed, large-scale paintings of city scenes, for which Canaletto became famous. The painting captures a view of the Molo, the broad waterfront promenade in Venice, as seen from the Bacino di San Marco. It looks westward, featuring the historic and architectural magnificence of the Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) and the adjoining prisons, known as the Prigioni.

Canaletto's mastery in rendering architectural details and his use of atmospheric perspective are evident in this painting. He meticulously depicts the grandeur of the Venetian Gothic style of the Doge's Palace, with its ornate façade and the intricacies of its arches and columns. The adjacent prisons, connected to the palace by the famous Bridge of Sighs, stand as a somber counterpoint to the opulence of the Doge's residence. The composition captures the bustling activity of the Molo, with Venetians and visitors alike going about their daily business, and boats moored along the quay, emphasizing the city's connection to the sea.

Canaletto's work is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of light and reflection, capturing the unique luminosity of Venice. His paintings served as souvenirs for the Grand Tourists of the time, who sought keepsakes of their travels through Europe. "The Molo, Looking West, With The Ducal Palace And The Prison" is not only a testament to Canaletto's skill as a painter but also a valuable historical record of Venice in its 18th-century heyday. The artwork is a significant contribution to the genre of vedute and remains an important piece in understanding the cultural and artistic heritage of Venice.
