Sebastiano Ricci is taught by Sebastiano Mazzoni and Federico Cervelli in Venice. For a limited time each, he carries out his artistic activities in Bologna, Piacenza, Rome, Milan and Florence. Because of these diverse impressions, he gathers there, Ricci's work is characterized temporarily by the painting styles of Correggio, Renis, Carracci and Veronese. From the light-darkness of the Baroque, he soon develops his own rather bright, very moving painting style with a distinct tendency towards the decorative.

In these pictures, which he often produces for English clients, mainly ruins and monuments are depicted, which are populated by all sorts of funny characters.
