PROVENANCE:
The Collection of the Earl of Eglinton, Skelmorlie Castle, Ayrshire in the 19th Century, and thence by descent to the present owner
The present pair of paintings may be compared to works emanating from a studio whose oeuvre has been traditionally grouped together under the title of the Master of the Langmatt Foundation Views. The eponymous works in the Langmatt Foundation, Baden, comprise a set of nine pictures (each approximately 46 x 73 cm.) and a set of four smaller views (approximately 25 x 38 cm.; see the exhibition catalogue Mythos Venedig, Baden, June-October 1994, pp. 62-117). Recently it has been suggested that the Master of the Langmatt Foundation Views may be identifiable with Apollonio Domenichini (active circa 1740-1760).
