About the piece

Painted in 1887 by Oswald Achenbach, this work captures a serene moment on the terrace of Villa Grazioli in Italy. Figures in traditional attire and a striking white horse are set against a backdrop of the rolling hills, illuminated by the soft transition from sunset to moonrise. The masterful handling of light and the lush, detailed foliage exemplify the German Romantic landscape tradition.
