The Roman Capriccio by Giovanni Paolo Pannini, painted in the 18th century, is a work emblematic of the 18th-century tradition of ideal views. The artist, a master of perspective and architectural stagecraft, composes an imaginary landscape bringing together famous monuments of ancient Rome, deliberately juxtaposed anachronistically.
Triumphal arches, columns, temples and ruins converse with one another in a harmonious construction that exalts the glory of the imperial past. Among these vestiges move small figures of travellers, artists and common people, who enliven the scene and underline its narrative function. The painting is a reflection on the eternal fascination of Rome, interpreted with skill and theatrical sensibility.
