River Landscape with a Capriccio

1712-14
Oil on canvas, 104 x 177 cm
Private collection

The painting shows a river landscape with a capriccio view of the Ponte Rotto, Rome.

It is an example of the painter's "vedute ideate" in which he often incorporated real buildings and monuments into his imaginary settings. Here the central focus is the famous Ponte Rotto on the Tiber river in Rome, which the artist has combined with various fabricated medieval buildings and structures.
