Description: | The painting depicts a fantastical landscape of classical ruins. This is not a topographical view, but rather an amalgamation of antique ruins; in the background is a large structure, a circus or ancient baths; immediately in front of this is an aqueduct and a rather incongruous pyramid. On the left is a section of colonnade in the Doric order - the ruined temple. In the right foreground are collapsed columns and a decorative urn. In this ruin several small figures appear clambering over blocks of stone, engaged in no particular activity. | Subjects: | townscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Panini, Giovanni Paolo (Italian painter, ca. 1692-1765) Æ School of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8676... | Go to resource |
