About the piece
Created around 1636, this polder landscape exemplifies Peter Paul Rubens' late period, characterized by a more personal and atmospheric approach to nature. The work captures a rural scene with luminous detail, focusing on a herd of cows being tended to in the foreground, while the background recedes into a dense, moody woodland under a dynamic sky that showcases the artist's legendary facility with light and color.
