Monks Fishing 

Salvator Rosa, a prominent Italian Baroque painter, is known for his dramatic landscapes often depicting rugged and mountainous terrain. His painting "Monks Fishing" showcases a serene river scene with two figures in the foreground, likely monks, fishing peacefully in a tranquil setting. The composition is characterized by the contrast of the dark, gnarled tree trunk in the foreground with the bright, airy sky and the distant hills. This work exemplifies Rosa's masterful use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere, while depicting the quiet beauty of the natural world.
