Jacob van Strij, master of Dutch landscape painting

His works, often populated with shepherds, animals, and changing skies, reflect a concern for detail and a refined chromatic harmony. Jacob van Strij's reputation is based on his ability to transform a simple motif into a scene full of character: this art print of the Sleeping Shepherdess and herd of cattle in a landscape is a fine example, where the truth of lived experience blends with a subtly orchestrated composition.
