![Unknown Artist - Saint Simeone Piccolo, Venice [c.1738] by Gandalf's Gallery](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_s3iWTvKBf8MsCOaSQJ1NraIq55Pg3OJv_waZxzKmeGKbFeqauqRaZwdJqL71Wuz5YyJEEDzZ95vHlsgaC4fGtzGCjaHjVO2SM2brr-ecYa2jppffZEd56nXPSGpG-wRw=s0-d)
This view across the Grand Canal shows the façade of St. Simeone Piccolo (the church was completed in 1738). The painting is a pendant (the name given to one of two paintings conceived as a pair) to the Grand Canal Facing Santa Croce, Venice. In spite of their inscriptions the two paintings are considered to be pastiches in the manner of Canaletto.
