About the Item
Architectural whimsy with Roman ruins, column and ancient arches. Year 1718.
Oil on Canvas. Original canvas.
Roman school of the early 18th century.
The painting is part of the series of 3 paintings of the same size and subject, which we offer for sale separately. One of the paintings is signed Giuseppe Longhi, dated 1718. A painter unknown to scholars, he becomes a minor discovery that lifts the curtain on painters of the imaginative architecture of the Roman school before Panini. This painting is unsigned.
In the painting we see depicted in ruins a building from Roman times, with arches made of large stone blocks, a fluted column on the left. At the bottom is an Italian landscape with cypress trees.
While in the foreground two peasants-man with basket of vegetables kneels before the woman with white headdress, suggesting a woman from Ciociaria. Next to the couple-a small dog: didactic allusion to fidelity.
The painting has been restored, has some signs of time and retouches ( see photos)
