EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Antonio Joli's masterpiece, "Capriccio with St. Pauls and Old London Bridge". Painted between 1744-48, this oil on canvas artwork measures 106.7 x 119.4 cm and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Joli's creation seamlessly combines elements of contemporary topographical painting with imaginary motifs from the past, resulting in a stunning architectural fantasy. The scene depicts an ancient London Bridge spanning over the majestic Thames River, adorned with classical ruins and pillars that transport viewers to a bygone era. The composition features various figures including travellers and visitors exploring this fanciful landscape. The prominent presence of St. Paul's Cathedral adds grandeur to the townscape while Somerset House stands gracefully nearby. With its intricate details and exquisite execution, this Venetian school painting captures the essence of Georgian England. It evokes a sense of awe as one gazes upon the imagined columns, church spires, and domes that adorn this fantastical cityscape. As you admire this print, let your imagination wander through time as you envision yourself strolling along these ancient streets or crossing over Old London Bridge into a world where reality blends seamlessly with fiction. This artwork serves as a testament to Joli's artistic genius and his ability to transport viewers into realms both real and imagined.
