About the piece
Painted around 1670 by Hendrik van Minderhout, this Italianate harbor scene depicts the port of Leghorn with the Monument of Ferdinand I de’ Medici. The work is a masterclass in atmospheric perspective, bathed in the golden, hazy light characteristic of Dutch Italianate landscape painters. The composition balances the verticality of ship masts and classical ruins with a lively foreground of figures and exotic pack animals.
