Second Half Of The 18th Century Painting With Architectural Caprice

Beautiful oil painting on canvas depicting a classic architectural caprice, in a fascinating play of architecture and shadows populated by small characters. In an imaginary background landscape, imposing classical-style buildings stand, masterfully created in the use of perspective and shadows. Among these architectures, figures of different sizes can be seen, intent on walking or stopping, dressed in oriental clothes and turbans. The frame, also of considerable value, is contemporary and characterized by carved wood with geometric decorations, embellished with pure gold leaf gilding. This painting, of extraordinary workmanship and production, is able to enrich any environment with elegance and class. It is attributed to a Venetian painter of the school of Giuseppe Zais, around the second half of the 18th century.
