Simonini spent most of his career in Venice. During the 1730s and early 1740s, he worked for Johann Matthias Graf von der Schulenburg, who was commander of the Venetian army in the war against the Turks. Simonini witnessed these military campaigns, often recording mundane scenes of military life, such as the resting soldiers depicted here.
Produced in 1740–5, this work shows the influence of Venetian painting in the vivid colours and the idyllic landscape, which combines the imaginary and the real.
