About the piece
Collaboratively painted by Sebastiano and Marco Ricci in 1727, this grand architectural capriccio brings together elements of classical antiquity—an obelisk, crumbling temples, and statues—into a single, dramatic landscape. The work showcases masterful use of light and perspective, characteristic of the Venetian late Baroque style, creating a sense of timeless grandeur.
