Giovanni Paolo, also known as Gian Paolo Panini or Pannini (17 June 1691 – 21 October 1765), was an Italian painter and architect who worked in Rome and is primarily known as one of the ‘vedutisti’ (view painters). As a painter, Panini is best known for his vistas of Rome, in which he took a particular interest in the city’s antiquities. Among his most famous works are his view of the interior of the Pantheon and his vedute—paintings of picture galleries containing views of Rome. Most of his works, especially those of ruins, have a fantasy element of embellishment, characteristic of capriccio themes where the artist draws on his imagination to group together decorative ruins, unlikely to be found in such close proximity in reality.
These paintings were very popular ‘Grand Tour’ souvenirs for wealthy tourists in the 18th century, allowing them to capture many of their favourite architectural sites combined into an impressive painting which they could take home and prominently display in their grand country homes.

- English early 19th century painting of a chestnut hunter in a landscapeBy John Ferneley SeniorLocated in Bath, SomersetA painting of a chestnut hunter in a landscape with a horse and rider accompanied by two hounds by a woodland river in the distance. Signed and inscribed 'Melton Mowbray', lower left. Oil on canvas in a giltwood frame. John Ferneley Sr (1782-1860) was born the son of a Leicestershire wheelwright, the youngest of six children. He is known as one of the great British equine artists, perhaps only second to Stubbs in terms of raw ability. Ferneley originally worked with his father, until by chance the Duke of Rutland saw some of his work on the side of a cart on which Ferneley and his father had been working. The Duke was so impressed with Ferneley that he persuaded John's father to allow him to become the pupil of Benjamin Marshall. Ferneley was so talented that apparently he produced almost perfect copies of his tutor's paintings and they were said to have been indistinguishable from the master’s. Marshall also enrolled him as a student of the Royal Academy Schools. In 1804 Ferneley paid a man named Thomas Harrison...Category
