In the taste of the Italian capriccios, which depict ancient ruins amongst standing architecture, this port scene oil painting (dating to the 1700s) is from Provence, France. A crumbling edifice can be seen emerging from the waters, which are surrounded by a busy coastline featuring numerous seafarers, citizens engaged in leisurely activities, and a large aqueduct topped by a pergola.
CONDITION: Good antique condition. Minor nicks and losses to giltwood frame. Light craquelure with some areas of discoloration. Rigged for hanging.
