Description: | The Roman architectural painter Giovanni Paolo Panini specialised in the capriccio, an architectural fantasy in which real buildings were arranged in a fanciful way that had no bearing on their actual location. This view combines a real monument, the pyramidal tomb of Cestius, with imaginary ruins. It is probably the work of a follower, although it bears a marked resemblance to an autograph work by Panini of the same subject. | Subjects: | landscape; buildings and gardens (tomb of Cestius); figure; animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Panini, Giovanni Paolo (Italian painter, ca. 1692-1765) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8626... | Go to resource |
