About this work
Artist John Gadsby Chapman spent much of his career in Italy, and many of his images of its people and countryside were sold to American tourists. He created approximately ten versions of Harvest on the Roman Campagna, a composition that depicts several workers amid a cut wheatfield. In the center, a team of horses threshes the grain by trampling upon it.
