The work depicts a pleasant landscape scene in which a group of five armigers resting on top of a large boulder are included in the left corner foreground. The entire painting is a perfect example of the pre-Romantic pictorial vision that makes Salvator Rosa's catalog distinctive and anticipates the landscape genre of the next century.
Painter and engraver, poet of satires, philosopher, theater actor, musician, founder of the Academy of the Percossi, interested in the practices of alchemy and magic and witchcraft, always strained in the difficult attempt to make art, life and thought coincide; free and bizarre spirit, restless and nonconformist.
Salvator Rosa was a well-rounded artist and-likely precisely because of his painting-was ignored or even despised by his century. It was not until the Neoclassical season that his work began to find favor with the public and critics, thanks largely to landscape architect William Kent's judgment that English gardens should be distinguished from Italian gardens, that is, they should be irregular, stormy, "worthy of the pencil of Salvator Rosa" (fit for the pencil of Salvator Rosa).
Salvator Rosa's art served as an example and inspiration for painters of the time; his works, in fact, particularly his landscapes, powerfully render the perennial tension between man and nature, the latter characterized by roughness, irregularity, and overwhelming power, so close to the idea of the Sublime theorized by Burke.
Thus the landscapes of the Rose, in which man is but a tiny apparition in the midst of a looming and threatening nature, became the model for the Romantic landscape.
Compared to the classical landscape of Lorrain or Poussin, based on the values of order, balance, and harmony, that of the Italian Salvator Rosa seems to prefigure typically Romantic sensibilities and suggestions, due to its elements of strong spectacularity, in which measure and balance give way to the bursting of the forces of an often dark and irrational nature, already evident in the browner, earthier colors and more vivid chiaroscuro contrasts than those of the bucolic scenes of the ideal matrix landscape.
The painter does not stop at the contemplation of nature, transcending the real datum with the force of the idea, but transfigures it dramatically, projecting his own inner restlessness onto it. Salvator Rosa's nature is detached from the objective datum, becoming an inner vision, animated by pathos and mysterious and often destructive forces.
This can be seen in the presence, in some of his works, of crushed or withered trees, gnarled and twisted trunks, steep ravines and crags, rocks, smooth or jagged, which sometimes take on human or animal forms, or tend to blend in with signs of human presence (towers, broken bridges and fortifications); or in the horizons where gray, heavy, cumuliform clouds, harbingers of storm, gather.
The work, conservatively attributed to a follower of Salvator Rosa, bears in the lower margin engraved a monogram "SR" found among those used by the Neapolitan master in the catalog of his signatures.
