About the piece

Painted in 1872 by Jørgen Sonne, this work captures three riders on the Roman Campagna, a subject famously favored by European artists for its golden light and ancient ruins. The composition is dynamic, showing the horses in mid-stride across a dusty path, while the crumbling structures of antiquity stand as silent witnesses in the background.
