Landscape with Architectural Ruins Oil on Canvas XVIII Century
Oil on canvas. In the landscape, which offers a vast plain with mountain peaks in the distance, there are classical architectural ruins in the center, opposite some structures from a later period, from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, also abandoned; several figures of wayfarers pass along the path, bringing the vestiges of the past to life. On the back of the frame there is an old label attributing it to Antonio Visentini (1688 -1782), a Venetian artist who distinguished himself for the production of perspectives with architectural capricci and figures. The painting, already subjected to restoration and relining in the past, is presented in a late 19th century frame.
