"Pair of Works: Capriccio with Triumphal Arch / Capriccio with Gothic Portico and Architectural Elements" are two notable paintings by the 18th-century Venetian artist Michele Marieschi. These works are exemplary of the capriccio genre, a type of landscape painting that features architectural fantasies, where real and imagined structures are combined to create picturesque scenes. Marieschi, who was a contemporary of the more famous Canaletto, is known for his vedute, or view paintings, of Venice, but he also excelled in the creation of capricci, which allowed for more artistic freedom and imagination.

The first painting in the pair, "Capriccio with Triumphal Arch," presents a grandiose and possibly imaginary triumphal arch, which dominates the composition. This structure may be inspired by Roman antiquity, reflecting the 18th-century fascination with classical architecture and the grand tour, a cultural pilgrimage undertaken by many European aristocrats of the time. The scene is likely enlivened with figures in contemporary dress, engaging in various activities that add a sense of scale and everyday life to the monumental setting.

The second painting, "Capriccio with Gothic Portico and Architectural Elements," contrasts with the classical grandeur of the first by featuring a more medieval or Gothic style portico. This work too combines real and fantastical elements, creating an atmospheric scene that plays with light, shadow, and the textural qualities of the depicted structures. The inclusion of a Gothic portico is particularly interesting as it reflects the Venetian taste for the Gothic, which was still prevalent in the city's architecture during Marieschi's lifetime.

Together, these paintings showcase Marieschi's skill in rendering architectural forms and his ability to evoke a sense of wonder through the creation of imaginative landscapes. They contribute to our understanding of 18th-century Venetian art and the broader European interest in architectural capricci. These works are significant for their artistic merit and for what they reveal about the cultural and aesthetic preoccupations of the period in which they were created.
