Circle of Giovanni Paolo Panini

'Circle of Giovanni Paolo Panini' refers to anonymous artists who worked in close proximity to or under the influence of the celebrated Italian vedutista and architectural painter Giovanni Paolo Panini (1691, 1765). These painters produced works in his distinctive style, depicting Roman ruins, capriccios, and grand interior scenes populated with figures, often indistinguishable in quality and composition from the master's own output. Such attributions are commonly assigned by auction houses and scholars when a work shares strong stylistic similarities with Panini but cannot be definitively attributed to his hand.
