Description: | This picture shows the huge circular central space and public buildings designed by the architect Giovanni Antonio Antolini for Milan in Italy in 1800. 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. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1800 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Alessandro Sanquirico | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
