In 1827 Lewis crossed the Alps into the Val d’Aosta, journeying on through northern Italy, and visiting Verona and Venice before returning home late in the year. His travels in Italy inspired a series of richly colored watercolors depicting the lives of simple peasants, often at their devotions. In this example workers pause from gathering grapes to join a seated Capuchin friar who leads them in reciting from his breviary.
