"Herders Resting in an Italianate Landscape" is a 17th-century painting by Jan Frans Soolmaker, a Flemish artist known for his landscape paintings that often feature pastoral scenes. Soolmaker, active during the Baroque period, was influenced by the Italianate landscape tradition, which was characterized by idealized representations of the Italian countryside. This tradition was popular among Northern European artists who either traveled to Italy or were inspired by the works of those who had.

The painting depicts a serene scene where herders are seen resting with their livestock in a picturesque landscape that is imbued with a warm, Mediterranean light, suggesting an idealized view of the Italian countryside rather than a realistic depiction. The composition typically includes classical elements such as ruins or mythological references, which were common motifs in the Italianate style. Soolmaker's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail in the rendering of figures and nature, contribute to the tranquil and harmonious atmosphere of the work.

"Herders Resting in an Italianate Landscape" reflects the influence of the Dutch Italianate painters, such as Nicolaes Berchem and Jan Both, who blended Dutch landscape traditions with the idyllic charm of the Italian countryside. Soolmaker's work is significant for its contribution to the genre of landscape painting in the Flemish tradition and for its representation of the cultural exchange between the Low Countries and Italy during the Baroque period.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that showcase Flemish and Dutch Golden Age paintings. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as an example of the cross-cultural influences in European art during the 17th century.
