About the piece
Painted by Italian master Antonio Joli around 1748, this 'capriccio' combines a meticulously rendered view of the Thames—featuring St. Paul’s Cathedral and Old London Bridge—with an imaginary classical loggia. The dramatic scale of the foreground columns creates a sense of depth, inviting the viewer to look past the figures on the terrace toward the distant cityscape.
