- About this work
-
Nicolaes Berchem was part of the second generation of Dutch Italianate landscape painters. These were artists who travelled to Italy in order to experience the country’s romanticism, bringing home sketchbooks full of drawings of classical ruins and pastoral imagery. Berchem’s travels are not documented, but it is thought that he went to Italy in the mid 1640s. He produced around 500 drawings and eighty etchings, as well as many paintings of idealised rural scenes.
