Roman School of the 18th century, Landscape with waterfall, architecture and figures, oil on canvas, 32,5 x 51 cm

With frame: 42,5 x 60,5 x 4,5 cm

The work depicts a picturesque and idealized landscape, typical of the 18th century, characterized by a balance between natural and architectural elements. At the center of the scene, a waterfall gently cascades between rocks, creating a sense of movement and freshness. In the background, a vast archipelago of mountains opens up, dissolving into a warm-toned sky, almost suggesting sunset or sunrise, lending the scene an atmosphere of serenity and contemplation. To the right, a monumental building, perhaps a temple or a stately villa, stands with columns and a portico, harmoniously integrating with the surrounding landscape, towering over the rocks and plants that surround it. An arched bridge on the left connects the different parts of the scene, lending depth and perspective to the work. In the foreground, several figures, dressed in elegant clothes, are engaged in everyday activities: two people appear to be conversing, while others bend over or engage in small tasks, creating a lively and natural scene that invites the viewer into the intimacy of this idyllic world. The painting technique, with soft brushstrokes and a warm palette, enhances the golden light that envelops the entire landscape, evoking a sense of peace and harmony. This composition, rich in detail and a sense of depth, presents itself not only as a representation of an ideal landscape, but also as an expression of the Romantic taste and interest in nature and antiquity that characterized the 18th century.
