This is such a nice scene to paint, as it is a real test of getting the perspective absolutely correct, if not it just does not work!
Legend has it that if lovers kiss on a gondola at sunset under the Bridge of Sighs they will be assured eternal love. The bridge was originally built to transport prisoners from the prison (on the right hand side) to the interrogation rooms of the Doge’s palace (on the left hand side) and the sighs of the condemned prisoners could be heard on their return from interrogation. The only prisoners it transports now are Prisoners of Love.
