Capriccio with architectural ruins, arches, bridge and mountain landscape. Second half of the 18th century. Oil on canvas, Dimensions: 114cm x 82cm Large-scale painting, with a fantasy landscape that develops along the river. A group of ancient buildings, with plants growing above the arches, Ionic columns and ruined vaults. Landscape as a whole represents an idealized view, with a character dressed in the manner of peasants, from the eighteenth century. Overall, the painting has pleasant passages of luminous colors: the turquoise and blue of the mountains at the bottom; the green of the cypresses, the beige and light terracotta of the buildings. The painting has been relined. There are some imperfections and restorations (especially on the margins, where the canvas ends) . It has a very thin frame made with black painted wooden strips
