Italian landscape with ferry, Jan Both, ca. 1652
Shepherds and an elegant couple take a ferry. They have to, because the stone bridge has been demolished. The lady on the fungus points to it in the distance. With the feather Both added a narrative element to his landscape. He bathes the scene in the golden evening light, and lays a bluish haze over the valleys.
