"Landscape with Soldiers Pillaging a Village" is a 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Pieter Snayers, known for his battle scenes and landscapes. The painting depicts a chaotic and violent scene in which soldiers are shown looting and pillaging a village, a subject that reflects the tumultuous period of the Thirty Years' War and the Eighty Years' War, during which Snayers lived and worked. The artwork is characterized by its dynamic composition, vivid portrayal of movement, and meticulous attention to detail, which is evident in the rendering of the figures, the landscape, and the architectural elements.

In the painting, Snayers employs a dramatic use of color and light to enhance the intensity of the scene, with the central actions highlighted against a backdrop of a vast and detailed landscape. The foreground is dominated by the aggressive actions of the soldiers, while the background features a panoramic view of the countryside, with smoke rising from burning buildings, suggesting the widespread impact of the conflict.

Pieter Snayers (1592–1667) was a master of battle paintings, and his works often served as historical documentation of the military campaigns of his time. "Landscape with Soldiers Pillaging a Village" is a testament to his ability to combine historical narrative with artistic skill. The painting not only serves as a piece of visual storytelling but also offers insight into the societal and historical context of the era.

The painting is part of Snayers' extensive oeuvre, which includes numerous works featuring military engagements and their effects on the civilian population. As with many of Snayers' paintings, "Landscape with Soldiers Pillaging a Village" is significant for its contribution to the genre of military art and for its historical value, providing a glimpse into the experiences and realities of warfare in early modern Europe.

While the exact date of creation is not specified, the painting is a representative example of Snayers' mature period. It is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been studied by art historians interested in the Baroque period and in the depiction of military subjects in art.
