17th Century Architectural Whim
Neapolitan School, 17th century, circle of Leonardo Coccorante (Naples 1680-1750), a painter known for dedicating most of his career to architectural capriccios. He often placed figures in the foreground to emphasize the enormity of the buildings. This pair of paintings depicts palatial architecture illuminated at night and an elegant gathering participating in courtly activities. The fluted columns adorned with capitals are lit by the artificial light emanating from chandeliers and torches held by statues. Italy, Naples, 17th century
