About the piece
Painted around 1672 by the Dutch artist Jan Hackaert, this oil on canvas work is a superb example of atmospheric landscape painting. The scene depicts travelers and their donkeys traversing a path along a river as the last rays of sun catch the high mountain peaks, creating a dramatic interplay of light and shadow that exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with nature.
