About the piece
Painted in 1867 by Giuseppe De Nittis, this evocative oil painting captures a transit through the Italian Apennines. The composition is defined by its dramatic, overcast sky and the expertly rendered sheen of rain on the road, where a single carriage moves toward a distant village, creating a powerful sense of 19th-century travel and atmosphere.
