Description
- Giovanni Battista Busiri
- a pair of roman views: the tiber with castel sant'angelo and ponte degli angeli with boats and figures; the temple of minerva medica and figures
- Both gouache, laid down on canvas, in their original frames
Provenance
Dukes of Newcastle under Lyne, Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire (from an inventory number on one of the frames: 477; two further numbers on the frames: 459 and 461)
Condition
One taken out of his original frame, the temple of Miverva Medica.
Both in very good and fresh condition.
They appear to be loosely laid on canvas and wrapped around the origin stretcher. Some looseness of the paper noticeable at the top corners, they do not appear glued down, therefore the colours appear very fresh and vivid. Two tiny little tears (1cm max) at the top right and left corners of the view with the Temple of Minerva.
Both in their original English 18th century frames, carved and gilded, with inventory numbers.

Catalogue Note
Clumber Park, the Nottinghamshire home of the Dukes of Newcastle, was demolished in 1938. Many of the contents, including the library of rare manuscripts, were then sold. The property was purchased by the National Trust in 1946.
