"The Entrance to the Grand Canal, Venice, looking towards the Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute from the Riva del Grano, the Giudecca and the Redentore" is a renowned 18th-century oil painting by the Venetian artist Francesco Guardi. This work is part of a series of vedute, or view paintings, for which Guardi is celebrated, capturing the essence and atmosphere of Venice with a focus on its iconic waterways and architecture.

The painting depicts a bustling scene at the mouth of the Grand Canal, offering a panoramic view that includes some of Venice's most famous landmarks. The Dogana da Mar, Venice's old custom house, and the baroque church of Santa Maria della Salute are prominently featured, symbolizing the city's wealth and religious devotion. The composition also includes views of the Riva del Grano, the Giudecca canal, and the church of Il Redentore, providing a comprehensive portrayal of this significant Venetian locale.

Guardi's work is characterized by his loose brushwork and the play of light and color, which imparts a sense of immediacy and vivacity to the scene. Unlike his contemporary Canaletto, whose vedute are known for their meticulous detail and precision, Guardi's approach leans towards a more impressionistic style that captures the transient effects of light and atmosphere.

"The Entrance to the Grand Canal, Venice" is a testament to Guardi's ability to convey the unique charm and dynamism of Venice in the 18th century. It remains an important work in the history of Venetian view painting and contributes to our understanding of the city's cultural and artistic heritage during its last decades as a republic before falling to Napoleon's conquest. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is considered a significant piece within Guardi's oeuvre, reflecting the culmination of his artistic development and his enduring fascination with the city of Venice.
