This pair of large-scale ideal views are more broadly and quickly painted than Raggi's smaller capricci, such as the pair in the previous lot. Gaspar van Wittel's use of tempera, as well as depiction of figures within sumptuous natural sceneries, exerted a decisive influence on Raggi's artistic production as did the work and personality of Marco Ricci.
