Italian school (XIX) - Paesaggio con rovine

Fascinating oil painting on canvas (or panel, please check the support) of oval shape, depicting a bucolic landscape with an ancient flavor. The composition is dominated on the left by architectural ruins that recall the taste of the Grand Tour and eighteenth-century classicism. In the center, the scene opens to a valley illuminated by a warm, golden light, suggesting the hour of sunset or sunrise.
In the foreground, the silhouette of a bare tree emerges, contrasted with lush vegetation on the right that frames the view. A pool of water at the bottom reflects the brown and green tones of the earth, lending depth and serenity to the entire work.
