"Il Ridotto" is a renowned oil painting by the Venetian artist Pietro Longhi, painted in 1750s. The work is celebrated for its detailed depiction of the social life in 18th-century Venice, particularly focusing on the activities within the Ridotto, which was the wing of the Palazzo Dandolo near the church of San Moisè and was one of the first public gambling houses in Europe.

The painting measures 61 cm × 50 cm and is part of a series by Longhi that captures the everyday life of Venetian society, with a particular emphasis on the leisure activities of the city's nobility and the emerging bourgeoisie. "Il Ridotto" stands out for its candid portrayal of the masked figures engaged in gambling and conversation, offering a glimpse into the hedonistic pursuits of the era.

Longhi's work is characterized by its attention to detail, from the sumptuous fabrics and fashion of the period to the expressions and gestures of the individuals. The artist's use of light and color enhances the atmosphere of the scene, inviting viewers to explore the nuances of this social setting. The painting is a valuable document of the cultural and historical context of Venice in the 18th century, reflecting the city's reputation for opulence and decadence.

"Il Ridotto" is housed in the Ca' Rezzonico, a museum dedicated to 18th-century Venice located on the Grand Canal. The painting is a key piece in the museum's collection and continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts of Venetian culture. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its role as a historical record of the customs and entertainments that were prevalent among the Venetian elite during the height of the city's splendor.
