About the piece
This 1780 oil painting by Elias Martin captures the Romantic fascination with the sublime. Shafts of ethereal light break through a dark, narrow mountain pass, illuminating a group of banditti nestled in the rugged terrain below, creating a powerful contrast between the vastness of nature and the smallness of human figures.
