About the piece
Painted in 1657 by Aelbert Cuyp, this masterful landscape exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with light and the countryside. A group of cattle and their keepers are gathered on a rise, silhouetted against a luminous, clouded sky, while a distant river and ruins add a sense of timeless depth to the composition.
