About the piece

Created around 1715 by the Venetian master Marco Ricci, this painting is a quintessential example of 18th-century Italian landscape art. The composition uses dramatic lighting and massive, gnarled trees to frame a tranquil scene of rural life, where figures and horses gather at a rustic drinking trough before a distant, sun-drenched town.
