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 example may be the work of a northern European painter. | Subjects: | landscape; buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Panini, Giovanni Paolo (Italian painter, ca. 1692-1765) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8625... | Go to resource |
