About the piece

Painted around 1640 by Dutch master Jan Both, this Italianate landscape exemplifies the 'golden hour' aesthetic popular among Northern artists who traveled to Italy. The scene depicts travelers and livestock gathered by a peaceful river, all bathed in a warm, honey-colored light that filters through the delicate, detailed foliage of the trees.
