Italian school (XIX) - Paisaje de Ruinas Romanas

This miniature oil painting on copper, framed with glass and measuring approximately 12x12 cm, depicts a romantic landscape with Roman ruins and a scene of everyday life. The composition shows an ancient stone bridge over a tranquil river, surrounded by lush vegetation. Above the bridge, deteriorated architectural structures rise, evoking the lost grandeur of classical Rome. Next to the water, a human figure adds a narrative and everyday touch, integrating life into the historic setting.

The work is framed in a gilded bronze frame from the period, decorated with a laurel crown at the top, symbolizing triumph and eternity. The technique on copper allows for great precision in details and depth in colors, while the glass protection preserves the delicacy of the painting. On the back, the signature of an artist belonging to the Italian school suggests an academic and refined execution, typical of the 19th-century taste for the picturesque and nostalgic in art.
