French print from the 1800s CONFESSION OF AN ITALIAN BRIGAND CHIEF

French print from the second half of the 1800s. The complex scene unfolds outdoors, in a hilly and mountainous landscape dominated in the background by a perched village and an ancient aqueduct. At the center of the composition is a wooden cart drawn by oxen (crouching in the foreground), on which lies a wounded or dying man, assisted and comforted by a friar or monk dressed in white. A dense visual narrative unfolds around the cart, evoking an episode of capture in a context of brigandage: Confession of an Italian brigand chief.Origin: FranceEra: second half of 1800Dimensions: 83x72h cmSKU: 17484
