Landscape with Shepherds and Cattle

Date1682
Label TextEven after the Dutch Golden Age had peaked, Dirk van Bergen continued to explore the popular theme of idyllic pastoral life, evoking the hillsides of sunny Italy. The two shepherds and their farm animals are gathered around the gnarled tree, but the most compelling element is the gaze of the brown and white steer.
