About the piece

Painted in 1604 by Jan Brueghel the Elder, this oil-on-panel landscape is a masterpiece of early Flemish realism. The composition leads the eye from foreground figures and horses along a winding path toward a misty blue distance, all beneath a vast, cloud-filled sky that transitions from bright sun to moody shade.
