Rocky Hills near Civitella is a 1869 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This image shows a wide, open landscape with rolling hills and distant mountains under a bright blue sky. In the foreground, dry grass and scattered rocks lead up to a rocky cliff. A few sheep graze near the bottom, and patches of green trees dot the hillsides. The light is soft, making everything look warm and natural. The painting was made in 1869, but it’s actually a photograph, not a painting. That’s unusual for the time—most landscape art back then was painted, not captured this way.
