He avoided the playful subjects favoured by Zais or Zuccarelli, instead preferring realistic images of the Venetian countryside. This landscape is another fine example of Marco Ricci's skilful use of light to create intensely real effects. ## Related artworks - [A Capriccio Landscape with a Domed Church]() - [A Courtyard of an Imaginary Palace]() - [A Courtyard with an Equestrian Statue]() - [Architectural Capriccio]() - [Coastal View with Tower]() - [Figures among Ruins]() - [Landscape]() - [Landscape]() - [Landscape]() - [Landscape with River and Figures]() - [Landscape with Watering Horses]() - [Landscape with Woodcutters and Two Horsemen]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
