About the piece

Painted around 1660 by the Dutch master Jan van der Heyden, this oil on panel work demonstrates his celebrated ability to blend intricate architectural detail with atmospheric landscape painting. The composition leads the viewer from a shady foreground tree across a sunlit path populated with strollers, toward the impressive stone facades of two churches and the sturdy fortifications of a town wall.
