Interesting question. I don't have an answer, but find it interesting that it is usually the reflection of buildings in water that rate a mention rather than the other was around you mention. Venetians are obviously well aware of the intricate interplay of water's reflection onto their architecture and, more importantly, the sheer infinite light dispersal which occurs from the reflections and counter-reflections though window panes, to glass vases, back to the canal waters, to tiled floors, in an interweaving of refractions. I mean, what lights up what? Clearly it's no accident that the greats of Venetian art often favoured water-based washes to depict the floating city in their vedute and capricci (architectural views and fantasies), freeze framing the melting of the symmetries into another.
