The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

The cleaning performed on the work on the occasion of the restoration in 1986 brought out its chromatic vivacity, bringing out the series of tender colors, yellow, blue, pink, previously depressed on the dark background, and allowed to grasp the definition of details barely sketched, like the decorative figure sketched on the base on the left or the rag shoes of the peasants. The image presents a clear partition between a darker area of architecture and a brighter area of the sky. The horizon is placed almost at the line of the earth, standing out the figures of the peasants against a sky suddenly enlivened by a shot of light on a cloud.
