About the piece
Painted in Rome in 1821, this masterful Neoclassical scene by François-Joseph Navez captures a group of figures in traditional dress. The composition perfectly balances the intimate, rhythmic interaction of the family with the golden light of the rolling Italian hills in the distance.
