LANDSCAPE WITH FIGURES - Roman school of the 19th century.
The painting depicts a classic and evocative landscape, likely a view of Tivoli. In the foreground, some human figures are glimpsed immersed in nature: on the left, a woman with a child walks along a path, while on the right, a couple with a small dog beside them are engaged in a conversation near the entrance to a cave. The scene is surrounded by majestic trees and imposing rocks, which guide the viewer's gaze towards a background composed of soft hills and an ancient, dilapidated village.
The artist uses atmospheric perspective, i.e., a painting technique that gives depth by blurring the colors towards the background, thus creating a realistic and engaging effect.
The lush nature and the human presence, harmoniously inserted in the natural context, suggest an ideal of balance between man and landscape.
Work of Roman origin from the first quarter of the 19th century.
