About the piece
Painted in 1667 by Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, this work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age fascination with the Italian countryside. The composition artfully balances the dynamic action of a cavalry battle with the timeless stillness of classical ruins and lush, overgrown vegetation under a sweeping, atmospheric sky.
