Marieschi, a painter and engraver contemporary with Canaletto and Guardi, is known for his prolific output of cityscapes—luminous, richly detailed urban panoramas based on rigorous geometry. In 1741, he published a collection of views of Venice, the *Magnificentiores Selectioresque Urbis Venetiarum Prospectus*.
