About Artwork: (1735-43) "A meandering river leads our eye from a working watermill on the right and folk washing clothes at the shoreline towards a jumble of buildings, one with its chimney gently smoking, and the crew of a boat unloading their cargo. As the river curves out of view we come to a peaceful landscape, with trees lining the horizon. The bright sun highlights the details of the buildings and the figure on horseback giving money to a beggar, and contrasts with patches of deep shadow that also guide us through the picture. Like its companion painting, Buildings and Figures near a River with Rapids, this work was inspired by the Italian countryside, particularly the areas surrounding Michele Marieschi’s home city of Venice, where he spent most of his career." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
