Plowing 1948

"Plowing", painted in 1948 by Italian artist Antonio Ligabue, is a small but powerful work depicting a rural scene. The image captures the simple act of plowing, with two oxen pulling a cart guided by a solitary figure. Ligabue's unique style, characterized by bold colors and thick brushstrokes, lends the scene a sense of both tranquility and urgency. The landscape, dominated by lush greens and yellows, evokes the feeling of a fertile countryside. The painting is a poignant testament to Ligabue's talent for depicting the beauty and hardship of rural life.
