Classical Landscape

Pierre Henri de Valenciennes

Cleveland Museum of Art

Monochromatic landscape painting with sepia tones. A river runs through the center. On the left, a nude man sits on a rock near a tree. He holds a shepherd's staff. A small waterfall trickles down the rocks. On the right, three women stand near a fountain. Two of the women wear togas. The third woman points up. A building with a triangular pediment sits on a hill in the background. Trees line the riverbank. A mountain rises on the right. The sky is cloudy. A nude man runs on the far side of the river. A chariot and horses are on the river right. A temple or ruin sits on top of a jagged outcropping on the right.
