Restoration Thyssen
It strives to restore the integrity of works by applying treatments that prolong the life of these cultural assets and to remedy the damage caused by the passage of time and the ageing of materials.

If you look at the reverse of the work, you will be surprised to see a design sketched in black. It is a face with the eyes, the line of the nose and the outline of the right side clearly marked. More curious still is that the same design is repeated on the front of the painting. Münter used a very similar type of stroke on both sides of the support, reproducing the forms and proportions, as if to create an identical design on the back and front of the painting.
In this picture Canaletto divides the composition into two along a vertical axis, masterfully establishing two almost symmetrical parts. He employs two vanishing points located at equal distances from the middle of the work. These points guide the spectator’s gaze into the background, and create a surprising visual balance.
