About the piece
Created in 1656 by Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, this oil painting is a prime example of the Dutch Italianate landscape style. It depicts three groups of drovers and their animals traversing a rugged terrain, all rendered in the warm, luminous glow that became a hallmark of the artist's celebrated career.
