Canal of the Giudecca, Venice is an oil on canvas landscape painting by the English artist Edward William Cooke, from 1867.[1] It depicts a view of the Giudecca Canal in Venice, including the Gesuati and Il Redentore churches.[2] Strongly influenced by Clarkson Stanfield, Cooke was noted for his seascapes and produced a number of views of Venice.
The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1867 held at the National Gallery in London.[3] Today it is part of the collection of the Tate Britain, having been bequeathed by Henry Spencer Ashbee in 1900.[4][5]
