About the piece

Attributed to Marco Ricci, this 1741 oil painting exemplifies the Venetian landscape tradition of the early 18th century. The composition masterfully balances human activity—woodcutters at work and figures on horseback—within a sprawling vista that includes a rustic estate and distant water. Ricci's use of warm, earthy tones in the foreground contrasted with the airy, luminous sky creates a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective characteristic of the period.
