About the piece

Created around 1650 by the Dutch master Philips Wouwerman, this work is a quintessential example of Golden Age landscape painting. Wouwerman was renowned for his equestrian subjects, and the beautifully rendered horses at the center of this scene demonstrate his technical prowess. The composition is defined by its low horizon and a dramatic, luminous sky that casts a soft, natural light over the resting travelers and the distant valley beyond.
