"View of the Grand Canal at San Stae" is a renowned 18th-century oil painting by the Italian vedutista (view painter) Bernardo Bellotto, who was also known as "Canaletto the Younger" due to his kinship and stylistic similarities with his more famous uncle, Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto. This work is part of a series of Venetian landscapes by Bellotto, which capture the grandeur and daily life of Venice with meticulous detail and atmospheric perspective.

The painting depicts a section of the Grand Canal in Venice, featuring the Baroque church of San Stae (Sant'Eustachio), which was designed by the architect Domenico Rossi and is recognizable by its elaborate façade. Bellotto's composition showcases the bustling activity on the canal, with various boats and gondolas plying the waters, and Venetians engaged in their daily tasks. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his precise architectural rendering, conveys a vivid sense of place and time, making the viewer feel as if they are part of the scene.

Bellotto's work is celebrated for its accuracy; he often used a camera obscura to achieve precise perspective. His paintings serve as valuable historical records of the urban landscape of Venice in the 18th century. "View of the Grand Canal at San Stae" is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an important document of the city's architectural heritage, providing insight into the Venetian way of life during the period.

This painting is a testament to Bellotto's skill in capturing the essence of Venice's waterways, which was a popular subject among artists and patrons of the time. It is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered a significant contribution to the genre of veduta painting, which flourished during the 18th century.
