Capriccio med eleganta figurer
Capriccio med eleganta figurer c1750 av den italienske målaren Antonio Joli (1700 – 1777); känd för sina vedute- och capricci-målningar.
Det här är en underbar nyckfull målning visar människor av den tidens överklass i ett gammalt romerskt palats.
Vi ser i förgrunden två män som går med en vit hund bredvid sig i samtal, med en möjlig vakt och en annan man nära en stor pelare som har en staty av en gudinna som står på en piedestal.
Dessa gudinnor kan ses genom palatset på alla fyra sidor av de fyra stora kolumnerna i scenen; och uppför trappan där de två männen och hunden är, vi kan se fler människor som har samlats vid en romersk staty i scenens huvudkolumn.
In the open area we can see a lush garden, where there are steps that lead to the main building with statues at the base and a horse statue and rider at the top; we see what is most likely a nobleman and noblewoman, walking with a man behind lady holding a parasol above her head, and what appears to be a servant carry the blue part of her dress above the floor.
