As a result, the range of the period was astonishing; it ran from Magnasco's turbid compositions of raggedy monks to the grandeur and sun-washed transparency of Tiepolo's Armida Abandoned by Rinaldo, from Pier-Leone Ghezzi's wry grotesqueries and exact social observation to the flaccid but competent imitations of French classical landscape turned out by such artists as Orizzonte.
