About the piece

Painted around 1645, this Italianate landscape by Nicolaes Berchem exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age fascination with Mediterranean light and idealized rustic life. The composition features a woman milking a cow surrounded by her resting flock, set against a backdrop of sun-drenched hills and towering, weathered trees that frame the luminous sky.
