"View of Villa Capizucchi in Rome, with the Porta Pia at the left" is a detailed drawing by Dutch artist Daniël Dupré. Created in 1787, the artwork offers a picturesque panorama of the Villa Capizucchi, a prominent Roman villa, and its surrounding landscape. The drawing is characterized by a meticulous rendering of the architectural features, including the Porta Pia, a fortified gate on the Aurelian Walls of Rome. Dupré's use of precise lines and shading creates a realistic portrayal of the Roman landscape, capturing the serene atmosphere and architectural grandeur of this historical site.
Comments
Here we see Dupré at his best as a draughtsman. The somewhat old-fashioned appearance of his early work, which betrays his former occupation as a wall hanging painter, has given way to a tautly drawn composition with a sophisticated alternating of light and dark, and highly elaborate yet unfussy detailing. At the left is the Porta Pia, the last structure that Michelangelo designed in his last years.
