An haughty perspective of an imposing imaginary classical palace opening onto a rectangular basin finished with a trumphal arcade.
Attr. JF. Saeys, a Flemish painter established in Vienna around 1790, excelled in these rigorous architectural representations glorifying the living environment of the reigning aristocracy, but imbued with the spirit of the Enlightenment.
Saeys hardly ever signed his works and our painting from Vienna is a fairly pure example of his talent.
