About the piece
Cornelius van Poelenburgh, a leading Dutch painter of Italianate landscapes, masterfully captures the soft, atmospheric light of the Roman countryside in this work from 1620. Figures and livestock are dispersed throughout a pastoral setting punctuated by the crumbling ruins of antiquity, creating a scene of timeless tranquility.
