Berchem (1620–1683) was one of the most important, influential and prolific masters of the Dutch Golden Age, renowned across Europe for defining the genre of the Italianate pastoral landscape. Son of the famous still-life painter Pieter Claesz, Berchem distinguished himself from his contemporaries by specializing in rural and idyllic scenes bathed in a warm Mediterranean light, inspired by his travels in Italy.
