About the piece

Created in 1884, Joakim Skovgaard's 'Autumn Day by the Liri River' is a masterful example of 19th-century atmospheric landscape painting. The work depicts a gentle river winding through lush Italian foliage and towering poplars, set against the soft silhouette of distant mountains. The presence of figures resting by the water adds a pastoral charm to the composition, while the delicate handling of light creates a sense of profound stillness.
