Earth is a 1610 oil by Jan Brueghel, the elder, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting shows a lush forest scene with a woman sitting in the center, surrounded by children and animals. The woman is dressed in a pink robe and has a crown of flowers on her head. She is holding a sheaf of wheat in one hand and a basket of fruit in the other. The children are playing around her, picking fruit from trees and chasing after animals. The forest is teeming with life, with birds flying overhead and a deer grazing in the background. The painting is full of vibrant colors and textures, with the artist using thick brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of light and shadow adds to the sense of atmosphere, with the warm sunlight filtering through the trees. The artist who painted this beautiful scene was Jan Brueghel, the elder.
Jan Brueghel the Elder ( BROY-gəl, US also BROO-gəl; Dutch: ; 1568 – 13 January 1625) was a Flemish painter and draughtsman.
