Four views of Venice: The Molo from the Bacino di San Marco, with the Zecca, Campanile and Palazzo Ducale; The Piazzetta looking towards the Libreria Sansoviniana, the Punta della Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute; The Isola di San Biagio with the Benedictine church and convent; and The Isola di San Michele with the church and monastery of San Michele in Isola

This splendid set of Venetian views brings together the most recognizable, monumental icons at the heart of the city with the lesser-known, quietly picturesque places on the Lagoon. Richter was born in Stockholm but settled in 1697 in Venice, were he remained until he died, straddling the worlds of Luca Carlevarijs -- the founder of the Venetian veduta tradition, in whose studio he worked -- and Canaletto, its most renowned exponent. The attribution to Richter has been confirmed by Dario Succi.
