Description
**Originally Listed At $500**
European, probably Italian, ca. early 18th century CE. A beautiful 18th century oil on board painting depicting a royal visit to a church. The artist has adeptly painted a procession of armed soldiers in blue uniforms on horseback pulling carriages and two figures in white - perhaps clergymen - on the lower right in the foreground looking on. By the 18th century, the revival of classicism made views of Italy quite popular. Note the classical elements of the church in this piece. In addition, Italy was a beloved location for wealthy travelers - a destination for those on the Grand Tour from France, England, Germany, Flanders, Sweden, the US and more. A skillfully painted painting with remarkable attention to detail. Size: 8.75" W x 7.25" H (22.2 cm x 18.4 cm); 12.25" W x 10.125" H (31.1 cm x 25.7 cm) framed
Provenance: private Los Angeles County, California, USA collection
