About the piece
Created around 1633 by Gaspard Dughet, this oil painting depicts a scene from Torquato Tasso’s pastoral play, 'Aminta.' The work masterfully contrasts the sunlit vista of the Roman countryside with the deep shadows of the forest, using light to guide the viewer through the narrative landscape.
