Giovanni Paolo Panini was one of the greatest exponents of that artistic sleight of hand by which real architectural monuments are combined into a composition that seems for all the world like a topographically accurate depiction of a famous place, but is actually an entirely imaginary capriccio. This was a time honoured artistic device, employed by everyone from medieval manuscript illuminators to 17th century Dutch landscape painters, but the demand for such capricci filled with images of important antique relics reached its height during the 18th century, as Grand Tourists sought to acquire paintings that captured the essence of the scenes and monuments that they had seen on their travels. Here, in this fine capriccio, Panini depicts the Temple of Concord, which fills the right side of his composition. As in so many of his fantastical creations, Panini populates his scene with figures who can be seen both resting and meandering through the ruins.
Another similarly constructed composition, including the Temple of Concord, is in Toronto in the Art Gallery of Ontario (Inv. no. 70/147).
