This pair of oil paintings on canvas depicts scenes set in spacious parks, where in the background, respectively to the right of one and to the left of the other, majestic architectural complexes stand out. Attributed to Isaac de Moucheron (Amsterdam 1667-1744), a well-known expert on architecture and perspective, these paintings reflect his ability to combine elements of “architectural whimsy” with those of “landscape”, two distinctive strands of the Roman art scene.

Both paintings show a varied experience and technical mastery that capture the attention and immerse the viewer in a world of grandeur and nature. The imposing architecture, depicted in detail, contrasts harmoniously with the serenity and spaciousness of the surrounding parks, creating a visual balance that is the hallmark of Moucheron’s talent. These paintings are not only artistic testimonies of extraordinary beauty, but also valuable examples of the cultural and artistic heritage of their time.
