Description: | In the background the town of Ariccia with the Palazzo Chigi and the dome of Gianlorenzo Bernini's church of Santa Maria dell'Assunzione, built in 1662 lies on a hill. In contrast, in the foreground the landscape is flat, its hedges and trees moved by the wind. Two wanderers are approaching the town on a sandy path. Ariccia is situated in the Roman campagna, on the old Roman Via Appia. The spectator might reflect on this fact when looking at the painting. | Subjects: | landscape; place (Ariccia near Rome) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Manglard, Adrien (French painter, printmaker, 1695-1760, active in Italy) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Anesi, Paolo (Italian painter, printmaker, and draftsman, 1697-1773) Previously attributed to Vernet, Claude-Joseph (French painter and draftsman, 1714-1789) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8806... | Go to resource |
