Description

Spanish or Italian school of the 18th century. "Caprice". Oil on canvas. Relined. Presents restorations. Size: 104 x 168 cm. This "Veduta" or "Caprice" offers us a panoramic landscape constructed from the reproduction of a Roman triumphal arch of classic style, to which the romantic concept of the ruin is added. The taste for the artistic vestiges of the past, the generalization of the travels of writers and artists in search of monuments and works of art that would serve as a source of inspiration, and the discovery of important ancient remains such as those of the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum undoubtedly contributed to the success of the genre. It is a pictorial genre, moreover, that has its roots in the seventeenth century, in the veduta, not always topographical, but sometimes extremely imaginative, of artists such as Canaletto and others.
