1277 - Pastoral scene with flock, European School, 18th century

Pastoral scene with flock, European School, 18th century Oil on canvas. Dimensions 83 x 64 cm; framed 97 x 78 cm. A rural scene featuring folk figures herding a flock of sheep across an open landscape, defined by gentle hills, leafy trees, and a luminous sky that lends atmospheric depth. The figures blend harmoniously into the natural environment, reinforcing the narrative and bucolic character of the composition. The color treatment is balanced, with a predominance of greens, earth tones, and blues, modulated by loose brushstrokes that convey freshness and dynamism. The work belongs to the 18th-century pastoral landscape tradition, heir to the Rococo style and late Classicism, where idealized rural life is presented as a setting of harmony and serenity.
