Capriccio with St. Paul's by Antonio Joli

A pupil of Paolo Panini in Rome, Joli was active as a scene painter in northern Italy and especially in Venice (1732–42), where he was influenced by the work of Canaletto. From 1744 until 1748 he worked in London at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket and also produced topographical paintings. The present picture combines the two genres; the imaginary foreground is inspired by antiquity, while in the background is a view of the north bank of the Thames with St. Paul's cathedral, the Tower of London, and Old London Bridge.
