# Peasants Resting Before an Inn [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LINGELBACH, Johannes]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 50 x 39 cm ## Commentary The painter here depicted three peasants recuperating and refreshing themselves by an inn. These figures sit, eating and drinking, around a low table covered with a white cloth, on which a bowl and a chunk of bread have been placed. The dramatic contrasts in the painting are reflective of the time Lingelbach spent in Rome, where he was influenced by the fashion for precise but intense chiaroscuro. ## Related artworks - [A Sea Battle]() - [Bathing Gypsies]() - [Battle of Lepanto]() - [Battle Scene]() - [Crowd in the Piazza del Popolo in Rome]() - [Flemish Town Sieged by the Spanish Soldiers]() - [Peasants Dancing]() - [River Landscape]() - [Roman Market Scene]() - [Roman Street Scene]() - [The Battle of Lepanto]() - [Watermill with Peasants Taking Refreshments]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
