Scene fra et osteri 1845

Johan Thomas Lundbye's "Scene fra et osteri" (1845) is a watercolor depicting a scene outside of an Italian tavern. The painting captures the everyday life of the people in the Italian countryside, with figures engaged in conversation and enjoying a drink. The work showcases Lundbye's skill in capturing light and shadow, contributing to a sense of depth and realism, and creating a tranquil and atmospheric composition. The inclusion of a donkey and a horse, coupled with the arched structure of the tavern, adds a sense of historical detail. This piece is held in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
