Description:

In "The Breaking of the Plow", Pascucci reveals his later creative phase, as well as his most spontaneous and direct one, representing the Maremma in a gentle manner, in contrast to its mythical and bitter depiction, with abbreviated and enveloping strokes: a small, hospitable and friendly world, that of sharecropping in the inland territories, which absorbs popular figures into the landscape and softens dramas and hardships into an elegiac and anti-heroic horizon.

Pascucci's canvas entered the collections of the Municipality of Grosseto in 1936.
