About the piece

Painted around 1650, Jan Asselijn’s work epitomizes the 'Italianate' style popular among Dutch Golden Age artists who sought to capture the warm, golden light of the Mediterranean. This scene depicts figures resting and drinking at a monumental fountain by a seaside ruin, blending classical architectural grandeur with everyday life.
