About the piece

Painted in 1639 by Claude Lorrain, this work is a quintessential example of the 17th-century 'ideal landscape'. The scene depicts a lively village festival with figures dancing and socialising in a sun-drenched pastoral setting framed by magnificent, airy trees. Lorrain's mastery of light and atmospheric perspective creates a sense of infinite depth, leading the eye toward a distant stone bridge and hazy mountains.
