Second View of the Agrigento Countryside

Claude-Louis Châtelet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with hills, valleys, a blue sky with clouds, distant mountains, a town or castle, people on a grassy cliff, a procession on a dirt path, and a lone tree. The painting uses delicate brushstrokes and a soft color palette of greens, blues, and earth tones.
