About the piece
Painted in 1793 by Jacob van Strij, this Italianate landscape exemplifies the 18th-century Dutch fascination with Mediterranean light and idealized rural life. The composition artfully balances a group of travelers resting by the wayside with cattle grazing peacefully near a wide river. In the soft, atmospheric distance, the ruins of Huis te Merwede provide a romantic architectural anchor to the sun-drenched horizon.
