About this work

This capriccio depicts a fanciful landscape of crumbling classical architecture, with a tall arch, broken columns and a fragmented entablature framing the scene. Small figures stand and rest in the foreground, while a distant domed church and hills appear beyond the ruins under a pale, cloud-filled sky. The work is catalogued as a print by Francesco Guardi.
