The capriccio is an imaginary representation in which are grouped often very real monuments. (For example the Rialto bridge which is found in the center of the canvas). Our painting is a superb example with, to decorate it, a very lively port with many characters and its maritime part. Jacobus Storck is also a marine painter.
