Landscape with Figures
1740 - 1760. Oil on canvas.Not on display
Rodríguez de Miranda was a leading landscape painter during the reigns of Philip V and his successors Ferdinand VI and Charles III. These three landscapes owe a debt to the seventeenth-century Flemish tradition. The larger two form a pair, although they may have belonged to a series of panoramic views. The third, which is smaller, depicts Christ and the Woman of Samaria (John 4, 1-42).
