| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Canaletto's (Giovanni Antonio Canal) celebrated painting 'The Return of the Bucentoro to the Molo on Ascension Day', rendered in vivid polychrome enamel across the entire rectangular field. The composition depicts the Venetian waterfront with the Doge's ceremonial galley (Bucentoro) moored at the Molo, surrounded by numerous gondolas and figures in period costume in the foreground waters. The Doge's Palace with its distinctive Gothic arcading dominates the right middle ground, while the Campanile di San Marco and the Biblioteca Marciana rise prominently to the left. Crowds of spectators line the quayside and fill the stands, capturing the festive grandeur of the Sensa celebration in 18th-century Venice. |
