The lavender harvest

"The lavender harvest" (Ref. 115) is a luminous tribute to the landscapes of Provence, captured by Ruggero Ruggieri in a moment of vibrant rural life (60x50 cm). The work employs a mixed media technique to balance strength and delicacy: the hills and traditional stone shelters, reminiscent of Ligurian farm buildings, maintain a solid structure, while the lavender rows in the foreground are rendered with brush precision to preserve their chromatic fragility. In the background, a Provençal village overlooks vineyards under a clear spring sky. The presence of two harvesters adds a narrative and human dimension, transforming the landscape into a story of the bond between man and land. A modern figurative painting with natural, sunny colors, perfect for those wishing to bring the peace and timeless beauty of the French countryside into their space through a sensitive and detailed hand.
