Landscape with a wounded Bandit and other Figures

Locatelli's use of oil paint and composition creates a sense of tension, while his skillful handling of light and shadow adds depth to the scene. The work is characteristic of the Rococo style, with its emphasis on decorative qualities.

Created in 1727, the painting is now held in the Ashmolean Museum's collection. Locatelli, born in Rome in 1695, was trained by his father and later by specialists in marine scenes.
