View of Villa Capizucchi in Rome, with the Porta Pia at the left
Daniël Dupré, 1787
Here we see Dupré at his best as a draughtsman. The somewhat old-fashioned appearance of his early work, which betrays his former occupation as a wall hanging painter, has given way to a tautly drawn composition with a sophisticated alternating of light and dark, and highly elaborate yet unfussy detailing. At the left is the Porta Pia, the last structure that Michelangelo designed in his last years.
