About the piece

Painted in 1626 by Jan Linsen, this work illustrates the tragic Ovidian tale of Cephalus and Procris. The composition is defined by a striking use of light and shadow, with the figures bathed in warmth against the dark, cavernous overhang of a rocky cliff, set against a distant, hazy mountain vista characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
