The painting of whims: between reality and fantasy
The fanciful architectures of the painting of whims will be tendered in Setdart next January 26. In this sense, the pair of canvases that we present at auction falls within the circle close to Codazzi. In the same way that the Lombard painter did, despite the imaginative component intrinsic to the genre, the architectural views that concern us keep a certain degree of verisimilitude, playing with the lighting to obtain typically baroque expressive effects, which enhance the appearance of the buildings of old look.
