Fantastic Landscape with Figures

Italienische Malerei 1535–1583, 16. század vége

The painting shows a high vantage point of a group of people in a dark, green landscape. Closest to us, near the center of the painting, are the six people with pale white skin and long yellow hair, wearing in flowing garments in yellow, white, and blue. They stand under dark foliage from large trees. In the distance to the right, the dark trees open into a wide, white landscape. Towards the upper right corner, there is a faint architectural structure resembling a shining white castle. Rolling hills are visible in the distance, and the sky is filled with swirling clouds in grey, peach, and yellow tones.
