Canal of the Giudecca, Venice is an 1867 landscape painting by the British artist Edward William Cooke. [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 colection of the Tate Britain, having been bequeathed by Henry Spencer Ashbee in 1900. [4] [5]
