About the piece
Painted around 1659, Aelbert Cuyp’s masterful study of light and atmosphere depicts a peaceful gathering of peasants and cattle by the River Merwede. The low sun bathes the scene in a warm, golden glow, a hallmark of Cuyp's celebrated style that brought an Italianate radiance to the Dutch countryside.
