Original Description
In Marco Ricci’s Landscape with Horses at the Drinking Trough, the viewer is transported to a serene yet vivid pastoral scene. Rolling hills, shaded by gentle foliage, frame a rustic trough where horses gather, their relaxed postures exuding calm. Ricci’s mastery of the capriccio style—combining real and imagined landscapes—elevates this early 18th-century work into a poetic escape. The play of light and shadow, rendered in earthy greens and warm browns, creates a timeless, almost nostalgic atmosphere. As a leading Venetian landscapist, Ricci bridged Baroque dynamism and the emerging Rococo elegance, making this piece a fascinating study in transitional artistry. Its balanced composition and naturalistic detailing reflect influences from his uncle Sebastiano Ricci, while foreshadowing the lighter, decorative styles that would dominate later Venetian art. A refined yet approachable work, it captures the essence of idealized rural life, offering both historical insight and aesthetic pleasure.
For interior decorating, this painting would elevate a study or living room with its harmonious earthy tones and tranquil subject matter. Its ideal setting would be a space with natural materials—think wooden furniture, linen textiles, or terracotta accents—to amplify its rustic charm. A mid-sized gilded or walnut frame would complement Ricci’s warm palette without overwhelming smaller rooms. In an office, position it where soft greens and browns can echo decor elements, like leather chairs or potted plants, fostering a relaxed yet refined ambiance. For larger walls, pair it with other Venetian landscapes or sketches to create a curated "artist’s corner." The painting’s moderate size (typical of Ricci’s works) suits both intimate nooks and statement walls, making it versatile for classic or contemporary interiors seeking a touch of Old-World sophistication.
