Venice painting by Canaletto could exceed £22.5 million at auction

A painting said to be Canaletto’s “greatest” depiction of Venice during his decade spent in England is expected to sell for more than 30 million dollars (£22.5 million) at auction.

The Bucintoro At The Molo On Ascension Day, which depicts the Feast of the Ascension, marking the day Jesus Christ was taken up to heaven in his resurrected body, was last auctioned by Christie’s in July 2005 when it sold for £11,432,000.
