Rome, L’église De Santa Agnese Sur La Via Nomentana. Gouache Animée Du XVIII Eme Siècle

Rome, The Church Of Santa Agnese On Via Nomentana. Animated Gouache From XVIII Eme Century "
Beautiful 18th century gouache representing the Nomentana street with the church of Santa Agnese.
the views of the suburbs of Rome in the eighteenth century were very popular and many traveling artists liked to reproduce them live during their trip, artists such as Caspar Van Wittel (Gaspard Van Wittel), to whom we can find similarities of strokes with our gouache,
these artistic study trips were already common in the 18th century and we continued in the same spirit in the 19th century with the grand tour.
our gouache therefore represents the parish of Santa Agnese, one of the oldest churches in Rome.
These representations, these drawings, these gouaches, constitute today historical testimonies of the history of Rome and of the life at the time in which they were carried out.
the religious complex of Santa Agnese in this 18th century gouache is identical to drawings from the same place in the 19th century,
it's fun to see that the church is treated in the way of architectural capricious and has many characters but in fact this is indeed reality, and nothing was invented!
this gouache is of very good quality, the invoice of the drawing reveals many details reminiscent of the school of Gaspard Van Wittel: the details on the monuments and the architecture, the way in which the vegetation is treated as well as the characters. A very pretty gouache of good quality and nicely framed in a wooden stick gilded with gold leaf.
A beautiful gouache forming a historical testimony to the architecture and life in the suburbs of Rome in the 18th century. We deliver and ship all over the world, please contact us for a precise quote.
dimensions: 41 cm long and 49 cm with the frame,

We would like to thank Mr Luca Fusi in his work for giving the good name to our church : Santa Agnese.
