“Abbiamo bisogno di contadini, di poeti, gente che sa fare il pane, che ama gli alberi e riconosce il vento.”

Franco Arminio

Leandro Bassano

(Bassano del Grappa 1557 – Venice 1622)

Pastoral Scene

Oil on canvas

cm. 107 x 143

All of the characteristics of Leandro Bassano’s artwork are present in this painting. The dry texture, the way the figures are arranged (almost cut out and positioned in the scene) and their posture identifies Bassano-born master as the undeniable author of this work.

Perfect state of conservation.

Expertise of Professor Arabella Cifani.
