Description: | This view of ruins is almost certainly imaginary, rather than a record of an actual place, and is an example of the genre of capriccio (an imaginary architectural view) which gained popularity during the age of the Grand Tour. Giovanni Paolo Panini was the leading architectural painter in Rome in the eighteenth century, and inspired many imitators; this picture is probably by an Italian painter working in Rome in the mid-eighteenth century. | Subjects: | landscape; buildings and gardens; figure; animal (dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Panini, Giovanni Paolo (Italian painter, ca. 1692-1765) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Panini, Giovanni Paolo (Italian painter, ca. 1692-1765) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8620... | Go to resource |
