About the Item
Baroque capriccio with architectural ruins and figures, an early 18th century Italian painting showing an imaginary landscape with Roman ruins and figures, an early Italian oil-on-canvas painting, unsigned, but inspired to the style of Genoese painter Alessandro Magnasco the Lissandrino 1667-1749, in good used condition.
Capriccio is a term coined in the late Renaissance and has several meanings with a common point. Caprice was a movement of the soul, or more precisely a excitation of the imaginative faculty that gave rise to every variety of mental images. Pictorially, there is no doubt that the Capriccio genre developed in the Eternal City during the first decades of the 17th century and found inspiration in the ruins of the classical age.
The canvas essentially has the ruin as its subject, as the landscape in the background in the distance is of secondary importance in the composition. The unidentified ruins here have an evocative matrix, that is, they exploit their emotional potential to delineate imaginary landscapes. The scene is symbolically observed by a Roman horseman placed in the center of the composition, bystander beside a white horse, who is confronted by two sitting beggars on a cluster of ruins, on rubble, as if to underscore the decadence of the classical world.
The painting was lined and returned to a new frame; it was restored around 2010 and has some pictorial additions. The frame is French, nineteenth-century gilded wood and tablet that measures 125 cm by 142 cm.
The dimensions of the canvas alone are 90 cm high by 113 cm wide.
It comes from a private collection in Lombardy.

View All18th Century, Venetian School Italian Landscape Oversize Painting
Located in Milano, MI
Early 18th century Italian Venetian inland painting, a large size oil on canvas Baroque mountain landscape with stream, bridge, waterfall, wayfarers and a village in the background. The woodland is animated by figures, a caravan with horsemen fishermen. This monumental Italian Baroque landscape painting has a strong impact and an excellent composition balance, as it depicts in the center the luminous perspective of a fortified village, whose side wings consist of two mountain rocks with dark wooded vegetation crowded by characters, horsemen, paths, streams.On the left side, with respect to the observer, there is a path that runs alongside a stream that flows into a waterfall in the center of the composition. from a caravan of travelers on foot and on horseback traveling along it in both directions: going up the slope on the mountainous coast you can see a church and a village near the top. The right part of the painting depicts a more sparse and dry vegetation, painted in the chromatic tones of ocher, inside of which there are dead plant, dry branches and a smaller number of figures on the rugged mountain. The iconographic inspiration of this wooded representation seems to be in the large trunk of the withered conifer in a central position, which represents a dead tree, as a? reminder of the transience of everything in life, whose phases are summarized in the two mountainous coasts. In the background a village painted in light and soft blue colors, in stark contrast to the previous scene, seems to reassure and project us into a future season.
With a suggestive theatrical effect, more than 250 cm wide, this Baroque Italian painting comes from a private collection of Milan, the canvas has been lined and shows minor painting retouches at a horizontal seam of the canvas. It is unframed, it has just a wooden profile covering the canvas edge.
