"An Italianate Landscape with Travellers at Rest by a Classical Arch" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Asselyn (1610–1652), who was also known as "Crabbetje" due to a deformity in one of his hands. This work is emblematic of Asselyn's Italianate landscapes, a genre that became popular among Dutch artists who either visited Italy or were inspired by the work of those who had. The painting depicts a serene and idyllic scene set in an imagined Italian countryside, a common practice among Northern European artists of the time who idealized the Mediterranean terrain.

In the painting, Asselyn masterfully combines various elements to create a harmonious composition. The classical arch, which is a central feature of the work, adds a sense of grandeur and antiquity, reflecting the Dutch fascination with the classical past. The travellers at rest under the arch provide a human element, inviting viewers to contemplate the leisurely pace of life away from the bustling Dutch cities. Asselyn's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail in the rendering of figures and the landscape, contribute to the overall tranquil and picturesque quality of the painting.

Jan Asselyn was known for his skillful depiction of landscapes and his ability to convey the texture and quality of the natural world. "An Italianate Landscape with Travellers at Rest by a Classical Arch" is a testament to his talent and his contribution to the Dutch Italianate landscape tradition. The painting not only reflects the aesthetic preferences of the Dutch elite, who were the primary patrons of such works, but also serves as a historical document of the cultural and artistic exchange between the Netherlands and Italy during the Baroque period.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the cross-cultural influences that shaped European art during the 17th century. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its beauty, historical significance, and as a representation of Jan Asselyn's artistic legacy.
