ABSTRACT

In painting, engraving, drawing, especially in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, works of imagination and fantasy, whether in regards to a landscape in ruins and invented or transposed monuments (F. Guardi, M. Ricci, etc.) or of a grotesque or picturesque setting (Callot, G.B. Tiepolo), or even a fantastic one (Goya’s Caprices, engravings published in 1799).
