"An Italianate Landscape with Peasants Making Merry and Pressing Grapes" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Dirk Theodoor Helmbreker (1633–1696), who is known for his Italianate landscapes and genre scenes. The painting exemplifies the Italianate style of Northern European artists who, inspired by the light and scenery of Italy, depicted idealized Italian landscapes imbued with a warm, golden light. Helmbreker, who spent a significant part of his career in Italy, was influenced by the work of contemporaries such as Claude Lorrain and Nicolaes Berchem.

The artwork captures a bucolic scene where peasants are engaged in the jovial activities of making merry and pressing grapes, likely during a harvest festival. The composition typically features figures in contemporary attire set against a backdrop of rolling hills, classical ruins, and lush vegetation, which were characteristic of the Italian countryside yet rendered with a Northern European sensibility. The painting's attention to detail in the figures' expressions and interactions, as well as the use of light to model forms and create atmosphere, are indicative of Helmbreker's skill in merging genre painting with landscape.

"An Italianate Landscape with Peasants Making Merry and Pressing Grapes" is significant for its representation of 17th-century pastoral life through a romanticized lens, offering viewers a glimpse into the idyllic and timeless world that artists of Helmbreker's era often sought to capture. The work is part of a broader tradition of Dutch Italianate paintings that reflect the enduring fascination with Italy as a place of classical heritage and picturesque beauty among Northern European artists and collectors during the period. The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that specialize in Dutch Golden Age paintings.
