Description: "The Working Landscape" Italian School, 17th century oil painting on canvas, framed canvas: 42.5cm x 60cm framed: 50.5cm x 68cm Fine quality Italian Old Master oil painting on canvas, dating to the 17th century. The painting depicts this energetic scene of figures going about their toils and labours. The far left shows a very neat and tidy garden, with possibly one of the earliest views of a 'garden shed'! To the centre, figures exchange goods, whilst beyond a far reaching river landscape unfolds carrying the viewers eye into the distance. Very well painted, this early depiction of every day life, with distant classical buildings, is a delight to view, with so much going and details to enjoy viewing. Clearly by a very good hand of the period and well worth deeper research.
