Weg in een Italiaans berglandschap 1815 - 1881

Samuel Palmer's watercolor, "Weg in een Italiaans berglandschap," depicts a winding path through an Italian mountain landscape. Painted between 1815 and 1881, the artwork showcases Palmer's mastery of detail, with the textured path and lush foliage rendered in vibrant colors. The distant village nestled in the hills adds a sense of tranquility to the scene. Palmer's "Italianate" style is evident in the romantic and idealized portrayal of the Italian countryside, a popular motif in 19th-century British art.
