An Italianate Landscape with an Unidentified Subject from the Old Testament is a 1620 unspecified by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see rolling hills, a few buildings, and people tending sheep. Three figures stand in the middle, talking near a flock. This painting was made by someone who loved Italian scenery but worked in the Netherlands. The artist never signed it, so we don’t know who they were. The hills and light feel warm, like Italy, even though the scene comes from the Bible. To see more quiet landscapes like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
