About the Item

Great 18th-century architectural capriccio with figures. Oil on canvas painting depicts an evocative architectural capriccio with ruins, enlivened by elegant figures in oriental costume that accentuate the exoticism of the scene. The main structures evoke ancient classical buildings, arches and niches with statues, domes, and temples of Roman and medieval origin. The composition is distinguished by its refined scenographic rendering and its ability to blend fantastical architecture with theatrical atmospheres, typical elements of the Venetian school of the first half of the 18th century. This painting, of excellent pictorial quality, is ideal for enhancing both classic and contemporary settings, lending a touch of Italian elegance. It features a 20th-century wooden frame, showing some signs of aging. The artwork has already been restored with relining, replacement of the stretcher, and restoration of color in small areas. Overall, it is in good condition. Internal dimensions: H 89 x W 113 cm.
