Crossing the ford Capriccio Baroque Landscape 18th century Oil Painting

About the Item

As we gaze upon at this artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to the foreground where a comical spectacle unfolds before us. A carriage, stubbornly stuck in the midst of a ford, serves as the focal point of the scene unfolding. A woman, exuding authority and determination, directs three men in their efforts to free the cart from its watery trap. One can almost imagine the air filled with the woman's colorful speech as events unfolds, with even the white dog on the shore joining in the cacophony with its loud barks. The left side of the picture depicts a traveling married couple, who from a distance observes and discusses the action before them. In the center of landscape, there stands a large quaint house perched on a small rock. Surrounding it are rolling hills and fields stretching out as far as the eye can see. This painting is a prime example of capriccio, a style popular during the Baroque era that combined elements of fantasy and reality to create scenes.

The scene of the departure of nobles on a ship, somewhere among the Mediterranean landscapes at sunrise.
