Oil on cardboard. The painting presents a rugged mountain landscape, with a female figure in traditional central Italian clothing walking on the path, carrying her load on her head. The typology of landscape refers to the nineteenth-century production of "Grand Tour", which offered landscape and urban views as "souvenir postcards" for European travelers to discover the artistic beauties of Italy (and beyond). On the frame there is an attribution to Alessandro Castelli, a nineteenth-century Roman painter and engraver. The painting is presented in a frame from the early 1900s.

Additional Information
Age: XIX Century - from 1801 to 1900
The revolutions in Europe between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, accelerating social, political and economic changes, favor the birth of a new artistic movement, Romanticism, which places sentiment and love of country and that, detaching itself from the forms of Neoclassicism, proposes a style that shows the deep emotions of man, aroused by real life. In particular, in painting, historical subjects, scenes of popular life and patriotic struggle, the landscape as an expression of love for nature and orientalist subjects are imposed. To express emotions and feelings, we begin to use bright colors, the outlines are blurred, the contrasts of lights increase, to then progressively arrive at a painting, with the Macchiaioli first and then with the Impressionists, "en plein air", pure exaltation of emotions, chromatic effects, subjective impressions.Find out more about the 19th century with our insights:
