This is a reproduction of "Three Men in the Landscape" of 1874 by Hans von Marées.  This lovely, almost idyllic scene was created when the artist was thirty-seven years old.  He studied at the Berlin Academy and moved to Munich in 1857.  He served in the Franco-Prussian War after which he spent most of his remaining years in Italy.  He painted the walls of the Naples Zoological Institute in 1873 and was in Florence in 1874.  He died in Rome on June 5, 1887.  The original of this masterpiece is in the Museum Kinst Palast in Dusseldorf, Germany.
