"River Scene At Sunset By H.d. Corrodi"

This exceptional oil on canvas, signed and dated H. Corrodi, 1892, is a refined late work by the Swiss-Italian artist Hermann David Corrodi, a master of Romantic and Orientalist landscape painting of the 19th century.

The painting captures the serenity of a Mediterranean river scene bathed in sunset light. The artist uses striking contrast: the dark, reflective tones of the water and undergrowth highlight the golden light illuminating the crowns of the tall trees. The presence of figures in traditional dress near a small boat anchors the work firmly in the Orientalist genre.
