Architectural Capriccio with Figures

Tempera on canvas. This work harks back to the work of Pietro Paltronieri, known as Mirandolese (a native of Mirandola in Emilia Romagna). In 18th-century Bologna, a taste for landscapes featuring ruins was widespread: there was a large production of canvases in which architectural capriccios, manipulated in classical styles, were inserted into landscapes and rural or coastal views, expressing a unique decorative sensibility inspired by the theatre. Collaboration between figure painters and set designers was also common. Among these was Pietro Paltronieri, known as Mirandolese, who assumed a sort of dominance over his colleagues. Paltronieri worked in Bologna, and this work comes from a private collection there. It depicts a large architectural complex in ruins with a crenellated and turreted palace and, in the foreground, a large loggia above a funerary monument, at the base of which a kneeling figure can be glimpsed. Other figures can be glimpsed in the background, but are not currently visible. It is ideal for a backdrop for a theatrical performance or, at the very least, as a wall decoration in a private setting used for public relations. The work, previously restored and relined, unfortunately currently exhibits several widespread paint losses. It is presented in an antique frame.
