The paving of the Piazza San Marco in Venice was replaced between 1723 and 1734 as designed by <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Andrea_Tirali" title="Category:Andrea Tirali">Andrea Tirali</a>. In the present canvas the areas of paving nearest to the Procuratie are completed but the central element is unfinished. This central area would have a geometrical design, as can be seen in the canvas by Canaletto in the collection of the Duke of Bedford, dated to the following decade to the present one. The state of the piazza seen here corresponds to 1723 to 1724 and it is known that between 1725 and 1727 the decorative paving on either side to the central zone was completed.
