This waterscape counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Bacino di San Marco on Ascension Day designed from a painting by Bernardo Bellotto, il Canaletto shows an annual celebration and procession of gondolas and rowboats commemorating the symbolic wedding between a ring gifted by Pope Alexander III to Venice giving it authority over the Adriatic sea in a ceremony which is called The Wedding of the Sea. This traditional ceremony began in the year 1000, and in this scene it creates quite a colorful display of all types of vessels in the water. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
