Source Description
This small panel of an imaginary landscape, in which a distant city and mountains are seen through a thick haze, is a fragment of a much larger composition, the original subject of which is unknown. Its style is comparable to that seen in many works by Benvenuto Tisi, known as Garofalo, the most important artist in 16th-century Ferrara. Similar landscapes appear in the background of Garofalo’s religious and mythological paintings.
