There was evidently a demand in the 17th century for paintings of shepherds and cattle in an imaginary and hilly foreign land in which enthusiasts undoubtedly recognized Arcadia. Jan Both, Nicolaes Berchem, Karel Dujardin, Jan Asselyn and Adam Pynacker were masters of the genre. The present painting showing an extensive Italianate landscape with an elegant company and a lime kiln was executed by the artist when he was living in Italy. ## Related artworks - [A Party of Charlatans in an Italian Landscape]() - [Allegory]() - [Calvary]() - [Cows and Sheep at a Stream]() - [Hagar and Ishmael in the Wilderness]() - [Horseman Holding a Roemer]() - [Italian Comedians]() - [Italian Landscape with a Young Shepherd]() - [Italian Landscape with Elegant Riders and Fishermen]() - [Italian Landscape with Herdsman and a Piebald Horse]() - [Landscape in the Roman Campagna]() - [Landscape with Cattle]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
