About the piece

Created around 1645 by the Dutch master Jan Both, this oil on canvas work is a quintessential example of the Italianate style. The composition artfully balances the heavy, detailed foliage of trees in the foreground with a vast, light-filled sky. Travelers, pack animals, and a sketching draftsman populate the riverbank, lending a sense of tranquil life to the idyllic scenery of the Roman Campagna.
