Giovanni Paolo Pannini was an architect as well as a painter, but is perhaps best remembered for his well-executed vistas of Rome, purchased eagerly by discerning tourists who appreciated his technique, eye for architectural detail, and compositional elan. This delightful canvas is a vision of the columned porch of the famous Roman villa, rendered with typical execution.
