The Grand Canal, which primarily comprises the foreground, has varied blues and greens; a scattering of ships line the canal on both ends; the canal, which sharply recedes into space, culminates in a small but luminous sunset; saturated oranges radiate from around the setting sun and then suffuse into the sky, which has various shades of cool blues and pinks; there is also some impasto in the center of the composition in the sky, where Moran has built up a lot of white; the domes of Santa Maria della Salute can be seen on the right bank of the canal and, although inaccurate in terms of its actual location, the Campanile of St. Marks can be seen on the left bank.
