Italian landscape 

Joseph Anton Koch’s "Italian Landscape" is a delicate pencil sketch featuring a rural Italian scene. The artist, who was a prominent figure in the Nazarene movement, captures the peaceful tranquility of a landscape with a small house, a winding path, and a lone figure in the foreground. The work showcases Koch's signature style, characterized by his meticulous attention to detail and the use of soft, subtle tones, typical of the German Romantic movement. The drawing is housed in the Städel Museum, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into the artist's masterful depiction of nature.
