Venice, Ducal Palace with a Religious Procession is an 1828 cityscape painting by the British artist Richard Parkes Bonington.[1] Bonington visited Venice in Spring 1826 and the trip inspired him to produce a number of works up to his death in 1828. It is the largest known painting he produced.[2] It was exhibited at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1828 to critical acclaim.[3] It is now in the collection of Tate Britain in Pimlico, having been acquired in 1947.[4]
