Condition
The canvas is unlined. The surface is clean. Overall the condition is very good with lovely preservation of detail throughout. Examination under UV light reveals some retouching along the right edge and along a vertical crease in the upper right quadrant. Another area of retouching can be seen in the sky at upper left, just to the right of the trees at left side. Otherwise there are just a few minor small retouches in landscape, foliage and upper sky. This painting can be hung as is and there is no need for further work.
In a carved and gilt wood frame.

Catalogue Note
The Flemish artist Hendrick Frans van Lint was born in Antwerp but moved to Rome by 1700 and remained there for the rest of his life. The present painting, completed in Rome in 1721, is a typical capriccio landscape by the artist. He incorporates a building reminiscent of the Villa Pamphili into a lush, idyllic setting. The cityscape and mountains in the background are particularly well preserved, showcasing van Lint's subtle color palette and impressive attention to detail.
