Shepherds in Campagne

Willem II. van Nieulandt

Willem II. van Nieulandt - Shepherds in Campagne
The painter often painted landscapes in an Italian style even after his return from Italy to the Netherlands. He inserted and composed ancients ruins into a sun-lit Italian landscape. The ruins in the painting evoke the semblance with the Caracalla Bath in Rome. The hustle and bustle of people, animals, birds and even the lush vegetation instill the impression of a harmonious and idyllic atmosphere.
