About the Item

Large 17th-century Italian painting. Oil on canvas artwork depicting a splendid architectural capriccio with figures, of remarkable pictorial quality. The painting features a grandiose Baroque architecture, built on a system of successive arches, fluted columns, and monumental staircases, perfectly in keeping with the Italian tradition of the second half of the 17th century. The composition is enlivened by numerous figures rendered with essential features: nobles strolling or in sedan chairs, beggars, pet dogs, and exotic birds. The scene unfolds like a true theatrical stage, creating an idyllic atmosphere, and the architecture lends a dramatic depth of remarkable visual impact. The painting has been attributed to Viviano Codazzi (1604-1670) with the collaboration of Micco Spadaro, born Domenico Gargiulo (1609-1675). Considered masters of the genre, they collaborated in Naples. Codazzi handled the architectural perspectives while Gargiulo executed the figures. (The painting is currently not accompanied by an expert opinion, but one can be requested upon payment of the relevant additional costs.) 20th-century frame in finely carved and gilded wood, beautifully decorated, with some signs of aging. A painting of rare elegance, ideal for an entryway or large living room, whether classic or modern, perfect for a prestigious professional studio. The painting has already been restored with re-lining, replacement of the stretcher, and re-coloring in small areas. Overall, in excellent condition. Internal dimensions: H 95.5 x W 132.5 cm.
