Object description
The work Ruins of the Arch on the Shore of the Lagoon was probably done by the author who created a similar fantasy view, preserved in the collection of the Borys Voznytsky Lviv National Art Gallery. The artist borrowed characteristic architectural elements from Guardi's Capriccio, specifically the ruined arch. He has depicted it against the background of the lagoon, further on, on the horizon line, one can recognize the silhouettes of buildings. The painting is executed with considerable skill, imitating the manner of Guardi.
