About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Lodewijk de Vadder, this oil on canvas depicts the Soignes Forest with remarkable depth. The composition leads the eye from small figures on a sun-drenched path into the cool shadows of towering trees, eventually opening up to a misty distant valley under a dramatic sky.
