Italy/Venice: 'The Bucintoro Returning to the Molo on Ascension Day'. Oil on canvas painting by Canaletto (18 October 1697 - 10 April 1768), 1732. For centuries Venice was Europe’s prime trading partner with the Middle East and the Byzantine Empire in particular. Venetian naval and commercial power was unrivalled in Europe until it lost a series of wars to the Ottoman armies in the 15th century. The city lost some 50,000 people to the Black Death in 1575-1577, but remained a major manufacturing centre and port well into the 18th century.
