About Artwork: (Probably about 1655-60) "We're looking at a landscape in the Low Countries, probably the flatlands between Nijmegen and Cleves in the eastern part of the Netherlands, which Cuyp had visited in the early 1650s. But the golden light, and that implied heat, is more reminiscent of southern Europe than the north. It was a combination which became fashionable in Holland during the seventeenth century, when Dutch artists who had trained and worked in Italy returned home to ply their trade. Cuyp never visited Italy but he was influenced by his contemporaries who had, and made this lighting effect a trademark of his paintings. With the warm glow also comes a sense of harmony. Man and beast are living peacefully together, the animals dutifully subservient to their masters. The cowherd and horseman also seem to chat easily, even though one – the man riding the horse – is probably of a significantly higher social status." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
