About the piece

Painted in 1648 by Nicolas Poussin, this work captures a moment of quietude along a meticulously constructed Roman road. The composition is characteristic of Poussin's classical style, balancing the grandeur of towering trees and architectural elements with the human presence of resting travellers and figures in the distance.
