Landscape with a House

Prints and Drawings

n.d.

Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi
Italian, 1606-1680

A Bolognese architect and painter of the Carracci School, Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi played an important role in the development of classical landscape art in 17th-century Europe, with over 50 prints of idyllic imaginary views. Myriad details—from the smoking chimney and fishing party, to the tiny outdoor shrine—only enhance the charm of this example.
