EDITORS COMMENTS
Marco Ricci's 'A Stormy Landscape' (c. 1725) is an evocative and captivating 18th-century depiction of rural life in Italy. This gouache on kidskin backed with paper artwork showcases the raw beauty and harsh realities of agricultural work during this period. The stormy sky looms ominously overhead, casting an ominous shadow over the rolling hills and farmland below. In the foreground, we see a group of farm laborers huddled together, their faces etched with determination and grit, as they work to secure their cattle against the oncoming tempest. The cows, their coats slick with rain, stand patiently, their large eyes expressing a sense of unease and uncertainty. The farm buildings, with their weathered facades and thatched roofs, stand as testament to the enduring strength and resilience of rural communities in the face of nature's elements. The church in the distance, with its tall spire reaching towards the heavens, serves as a reminder of the spiritual and cultural significance of the land and its people. This artwork, a masterpiece of the Italian Baroque period, invites us to reflect on the rich history and heritage of agriculture and rural life. It is a poignant reminder of the hard work, dedication, and perseverance required to cultivate the land and care for livestock, even in the most challenging of conditions. Currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., 'A Stormy Landscape' is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Italian culture, or the agricultural traditions of the past.
