"An Italianate Landscape with Travellers Fording a River near the Tomb of Caecilia Metella, Rome" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Asselijn. This work exemplifies the Italianate landscape genre, which was popular among Dutch artists who had traveled to Italy and were inspired by its scenery. The painting depicts a serene and idyllic scene where travelers on horseback and on foot are shown fording a river, with the ancient Roman tomb of Caecilia Metella serving as a prominent historical landmark in the background.

Asselijn, who lived between circa 1610 and 1652, was known for his landscapes, seascapes, and depictions of animals. His Italianate landscapes, in particular, reflect the influence of his time in Italy, where he was part of the group of Northern artists known as the "Bentvueghels" in Rome. These artists were deeply influenced by the Roman Campagna, the classical ruins, and the work of Italian masters.

The painting is characterized by its classical composition, with a balanced arrangement of figures and nature. Asselijn's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to atmospheric perspective, contributes to the depth and realism of the scene. The Tomb of Caecilia Metella, a well-preserved mausoleum on the ancient Appian Way, is rendered with architectural accuracy, anchoring the composition in a specific historical and geographical context.

"An Italianate Landscape with Travellers Fording a River near the Tomb of Caecilia Metella, Rome" is a significant example of Asselijn's work and of the Italianate landscape tradition in Dutch painting. It reflects the cultural exchange between the Netherlands and Italy during the Baroque period and offers insight into the ways Dutch artists incorporated foreign influences into their own artistic practices. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as a document of the era's artistic trends.
