Landscape, Artist Unknown, Oil on Canvas, 156x126 cms.

A serene sky in hues of blue forms the background. A bridge with arched passageways divides the composition. Distant mountains behind, seem to be sloping towards the left. A round tower rises along with a tree in distant view. Following a rhythmic appeal, craggy mountains towards the right form a path for the group of women and a child who are engaged in their everyday activities. Towards the left, a sea breeze appears calm with a group of men, engaged in fishing amidst lush green environs. Sir George Scharf, an English art critic and illustrator attributes this style of painting to Francesco Zuccarelli, an Italian painter of the late Baroque period.
