Gathering Wood is a 1794 by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a group of people gathering wood in a forest. They are dressed in old-fashioned clothing and are using tools to cut and carry the wood. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a cloudy sky. The people in the painting are shown in various poses, some bending down to pick up wood, others standing up and carrying it away. The artist has used a range of colors to depict the scene, from the earthy tones of the wood and the trees to the brighter colors of the people's clothing. The painting is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and imagination. To learn more about this style, explore the Romanticism movement.
