Basic information in canals canvas prints

In its most general form, a canal is simply a manmade waterway that allows boats and ships to pass from one body of water to another. They are also used to transport water for irrigation and other human uses. As you will see in canals canvas prints, despite the advent of more efficient forms of transportation, canals still play a vital role as conduits for transportation and fostering global commerce. Essentially, there are two types of canals, which are waterways and aqueducts. Waterways are the navigable parts of a body of water, and can be located within a bay or open sea, can connect two or more waterbodies, or may even form networks within a city. This is the main subject of canals canvas prints. Aqueducts are used exclusively to transport water for drinking, agriculture and hydroelectric power.

City of Water

In modern times, we can easily imagine a city such as Venice because we have gotten used to it being there, as well as having the technology to build infrastructure to accommodate such a place. However, in the earliest of its days, no one could have ever predicted that the idea itself could and would work. The now-called Venetians were up to the challenge and clearly overcame the challenges they set for themselves, which is also an indicator of not just the city's history and character, but also that Venice came in a time where Italy was the cream of the crop. Just take a look at the canals canvas print titled "Bricks and Water Alleys in Venice" where you can see the wear and tear but also feel the strong connection and spirit of this location. Despite the fact that historians know of no official date of foundation of the city, what is certain is the marshy Venetian lagoon has been inhabited since the Roman age! In the Middle Ages Venice started to grow as an important port city on the Adriatic Sea, thriving on the trade of silk and spices. Venice became a genuine city of art on the map of Europe and a hub of culture on the continent, which is still evident in canals canvas prints such as "Basilica Santa Maria della Salute in Venice".
