In 1725, the painter Alessandro Marchesini, who was also the buyer for the Lucchese art collector Stefano Conti, had inquired about buying two more 'views of Venice', when the agent urged him to consider instead the work of "Antonio Canale... it is like Carlevaris, but you can see the sun shining in it."
I 1725 havde maleren Alessandro Marchesini, som også var indkøber for kunstsamleren Stefano Conti fra Lucca, forespurgt, om det var muligt at købe to 'Venedig-udsigter', da agenten bad ham om i stedet at overveje værket af "Antonio Canale... det er som Carlevaris, men man kan se solen skinne i det."
