"An Architectural Capriccio with Christ Curing a Leper" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Viviano Codazzi, who was renowned for his architectural and perspective views. This work is a capriccio, a genre of painting that features architectural fantasies, where real and imaginary structures are combined in a picturesque composition. Codazzi's painting is particularly interesting as it juxtaposes a classical architectural setting with a biblical scene, thus blending the grandeur of ancient architecture with the spiritual narrative of the New Testament.

The painting depicts the moment from the Gospels where Jesus Christ heals a man suffering from leprosy, a subject that has been a common theme in Christian art due to its powerful symbolism of purification and divine mercy. In Codazzi's interpretation, the event is set against a backdrop of monumental ruins, which may be intended to evoke the decay of the old order and the transformative power of Christ's teachings.

Viviano Codazzi (1604–1670) was active during the 17th century and spent much of his career in Rome, where he became famous for his vedute, or detailed architectural views. His works often included collaboration with figure painters, such as Domenico Gargiulo, who would add the staffage to Codazzi's architectural scenes. It is not uncommon for paintings of this period to be the result of such collaborations, though it is unclear if "An Architectural Capriccio with Christ Curing a Leper" is one of these cases.

The painting is a fine example of Codazzi's skill in rendering architectural details and his ability to create a sense of depth and space. His work is characterized by the use of strong light and shadow to enhance the three-dimensionality of the structures, and this painting is no exception. The precise artist and date of creation for "An Architectural Capriccio with Christ Curing a Leper" are not universally agreed upon, and the provenance of the painting may not be fully documented, which is not unusual for works from this era.

The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of architectural capriccios and their ability to capture the imagination by blending the real with the fantastical.
