Known for landscapes and imaginary city views, Guardi also painted a few interiors, including this image depicting Venetian officials and petitioners outside the principal council chamber of the Doge’s palace. Although he has telescoped his view in order to accommodate the scene, the room is otherwise accurately represented. Guardi paired this painting with one of the Ridotto Pubblico, also in The Met collection.
