This painting shows a quiet Italian landscape with trees and hills. The artist used a simple style to create a sense of calm. The fact that it's made of oil on paper, mounted on canvas, is also interesting - this was a unique way to work at the time. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of glazing.
