Description: | A tall archway offers a view into a sunlit courtyard of a ruinous complex. Diminutive figures and a dog emphasise the scale of the architecture. In the shadowy foreground are two poorly dressed figures: a man, barefoot, bearing a staff talks to a woman, who points toward a child standing under the low side arch. In the background, a figure enters the courtyard through a low archway pierced through the end wall. A pale blue sky can be glimpsed through a window and above the ruinous wall on the left. Vegetation covering parts of the architecture conveys the idea of decay. | Subjects: | figure; buildings and gardens (ruins); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zuccarelli, Franco (Italian painter, 1702-1788) Æ Manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8476... | Go to resource |
