Description: | This picture shows the huge circular central space and public buildings designed by the architect Giovanni Antonio Antolini in 1800 for a scheme for Milan, Italy. The scheme had been commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte, whose forces had defeated the previous Austrian rulers. However, only a few buildings of the Foro Bonaparte were built before the Austrian forces returned to Milan. The artist Alessandro Sanquirico also worked for the opera house of La Scala in Milan, painting decorative compositions. | Subjects: | townscape; buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Sanquirico, Alessandro (Italian painter and scenographer, 1777-1849) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8647... | Go to resource |
