| Description | A hilly and lush landscape with a receding river, classical remains, diminutive figures and cattle is seen from a bird's eye view. The contrasting light is used to theatrical effect. In the left foreground, a funerary monument and broken columns are half-lit, while the lower foreground is fully lit. On the far side of the river, two tall pilasters and Corinthian columns supporting an entablature evoke the splendour of a bygone era. The architectural remains dwarf the figures and animals: a couple sits on the riverbank; cattle stand in the river and further away a small boat is crossing the river. | |
