The work

The painting shows a view of the Roman Forum with knights and mules with wayfarers in the foreground along with shepherds and their flock playing music. It is a typical piece made for the art market, eagerly sought by contemporary Italians and visiting tourists.

Jacob de Heusch, Dutch painter. He received painting lessons from his uncle Willem de Heusch, one of the Italian painters. In January 1675 he is first mentioned as a member of the Schildersbent, an association formed by Dutch artists in Rome. Although it is not known how long he remained in the Eternal City, we can assume that it was quite a while, because he is still mentioned in Venice in 1696 - working for the secretary Lucatelli - and because the Italian motifs in his work all come from Rome. and its surroundings. By 1699 the artist had returned to Utrecht, where he died two years later.
