About the piece
Painted in 1671, Jacob van der Ulft’s 'Army Advancing among Roman Ruins' is a masterful example of the Dutch Italianate style. The composition juxtaposes the dynamic movement of a contemporary army with the silent, enduring grandeur of ancient Rome. Through his precise rendering of crumbling masonry and golden, late-day light, Van der Ulft creates a scene that is both historically evocative and timelessly elegant.
