About the piece

Painted in 1827, Ludwig Richter's 'Civitella (Evening)' captures the idyllic spirit of the Italian countryside during the Romantic era. The work features a diverse group of figures navigating a winding mountain path as the warm glow of sunset illuminates the distant peaks and the weathered walls of the ancient gateway.
