Italy, the dream destination for 19th century artists of every caliber, inspired paintings of every type. As Italy was also one of the stops on a Grand Tour, there were plenty of European and American tourists and collectors interested in buying the work offered there -- art and commerce working in concert. This wonderful rustic scene would have appealed to many a visitor, as it captures an idealized countryside with graceful ruins in the background, and industrious but lively peasants.
