About the piece

Created circa 1645 by Jan Both, this masterful oil painting captures the atmospheric, warm light characteristic of the Dutch Italianate style. The composition leads the eye through a rocky mountain pass populated by travelers and animals, framed by meticulously rendered trees that glow in the late afternoon sun. This piece from the Dulwich Picture Gallery exemplifies the era's fascination with the idealized Roman Campagna.
