About the piece
Painted in 1858 by Federico Cortese, this Italian landscape depicts a serene sunrise in the Sabine hills. Stately stone pines dominate the sun-dappled slope on the left, while the distance reveals a mist-shrouded valley and a distant hilltop fortification, all bathed in the soft, golden light of early morning.
