About the piece
Painted by John Wootton around 1740, this classical landscape exemplifies the 18th-century fascination with the Italianate 'Golden Age' style. The composition features a rich interplay of light and shadow, with a soft sunset illuminating a peaceful scene of drovers and their livestock amidst ancient ruins and towering trees.
