The photos were taken in the Royal Palace of Venice (in Italian: Il Palazzo Reale) in the San Marco district on the island of Venice, Italy. Venice (Venezia) is a city in northeastern Italy that is built on a group of 126 islands separated by open water and canals, linked through 472 bridges. The historical island city is home to only 51K people, but a very popular tourist destination with about 60K tourists per day. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is renowned for its beauty, architecture, and artwork. The landmark of St. Mark's Square (Piazza di San Marco) is the basilica dedicated to Saint Mark the Evangelist and contains his relics. The church is sited on the eastern end of the square, the former center of the Republic of Venice, and is attached to the Doge's Palace. There are other important landmarks around this square, such as the Royal Palace of Venice, which is a complex that consists of the Marciana Library, the Archaeological Museum, and the Correr Museum. These photos are of the Picture Gallery on the second floor of the Correr Museum (Museo Correr), which is located in the Procuratorie Nuove building. The museum's items originated with Teodoro Correr, a passionate collector who bequeathed his collection to the city of Venice in 1830. The painting is "St. Anthony of Padua" by Alvise Vivarini. It is tempera paint on a panel and is in its original frame. The artist copied part of another of his works, a polyptych that hangs in the Accademia Gallery. The Correr Museum's website describes their painting as "a work of refined and elegant line and very delicate palette."
