About the piece

Painted in 1830 by Joseph Anton Koch, this work depicts a brick kiln nestled in the rugged landscape of Olevano. Figures populate the foreground near a reflective stream, including a woman carrying a child and a man tending a donkey, illustrating the peaceful harmony of daily rural life against a grand, mountainous backdrop typical of the German Romantic style.
