About the piece

Created around 1631 by Anthony van Dyck, this ambitious work illustrates a scene from the famous pastoral play 'Il pastor fido'. The painting showcases the artist's masterful ability to orchestrate a large group of figures with luminous skin tones and vibrant drapery. The composition is unified by a warm, sun-drenched palette and the playful presence of putti among the trees, embodying the sophisticated elegance of the Baroque period.
