Über das Gemälde

Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675) was born in Rome from a French father and an Italian mother. He first trained there with his brother-in-law, Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), then made several trips in the peninsula during which he befriended other great painters of his generation such as Pietro da Cortona (1596-1669) and Guglielmo Cortese (1628-1679) but never left Italy. In 1657 Dughet was elected to the Accademia di S Luca and rapidly became one of the most distinguished landscape painters working in Rome in the 17th century, painting decorative frescoes and many easel paintings for such major Roman patrons as Pope Innocent X and the Colonna family.

This painting corresponds to a lost composition executed by Dughet in the period 1660-1665. It shows a shepherd and his dog in an Arcadian landscape, with houses in the middle distance. This type of landscapes was extremely popular in England in the late 17th and the whole 18th century following the taste for similar Arcadian compositions executed by Claude Lorrain (1604-1682) and Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665).
