Lot Essay

The Master of the Langmatt Foundation Views has been identified as Apollonio Domenichini, one of many vedutisti registered in the Venetian painters' guild in the eighteenth century. Domenichini often took inspiration for his capricci, or imagined views, from prints and the works of his contemporaries, Michele Marieschi and Giovanni Antonio Canal.

We are grateful to Federica Spadotto for proposing the attribution on the basis of photographs (private communication, 8 November 2023).
