About the piece

Created in 1866, this work by Giuseppe De Nittis is a masterful example of the Italian Verismo style, depicting a slice of life along the Ofantino channel. The composition balances the grounded activity of the farmstead—featuring grazing oxen and figures at work—with the airy openness of a vast, clear sky.
