Description: | This lively port scene is one of a pair, probably by Francesco Simonini, a painter active in Venice in the eighteenth century and noted for his battle scenes. The flamboyant architecture at right is, however, unusual in his work. It is almost certainly imaginary and an example of the taste for 'capricci', or architectural fantasies, in the eighteenth century. | Subjects: | landscape; townscape; marine; trade and industry (shipping); buildings and gardens; figure; animal (horse; dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Simonini, Francesco (Italian painter, 1686-ca. 1755) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Callot, Jacques (French printmaker and draftsman, 1592-1635) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8623... | Go to resource |
