The fisherman, Boscarecce series

The tapestry shows in the background a landscape inspired by the Piedmontese territory, with a wide and bright valley crossed by the river with hills, woods and villages, a fisherman intent on catching prey in the river, accompanied by two young women with their children , while a traveler crosses a stone bridge. An idyllic scene that softens the harsh rural reality with the popular tone of the 'bambocciata' and intertwines with the genre of the architectural 'capriccio' with the inclusion of the classical temple in ruins, according to the taste of the 18th century commissioned by Carlo Emanuele III of Savoy for the Royal Palace of Turin.
