This large, austere drawing reflects the revived interest during the 18th century in the work of the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). Visentini’s meticulously detailed interior of the Venetian Redentore church, designed by Palladio, is a scaled-down version of an earlier painted composition. The two men in the centre foreground inspecting a plan are thought to be Visentini himself and the British Consul in Venice, Joseph Smith, a patron of Canaletto and one of the most enthusiastic collectors of 18th-century Venetian art of his time.
