"A Cowherd with Cattle, a Goat and a Donkey in an Italianate Landscape" is a notable oil painting by Flemish artist Pieter van Bloemen, also known as Standaart. Pieter van Bloemen (1657–1720) was a Baroque painter who specialized in lush landscapes, animal pieces, and scenes with figures, often set in idyllic Italianate environments. This particular work exemplifies his adeptness at integrating pastoral figures and a variety of animals into a harmonious landscape that reflects the influence of the Roman Campagna.

The painting is characterized by its serene depiction of rural life, with a cowherd tending to his animals amidst the backdrop of a classical Italian landscape. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures and animals positioned to lead the viewer's eye through the canvas, while the use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. Van Bloemen's attention to detail is evident in the realistic portrayal of the animals and the pastoral setting, which conveys a sense of tranquility and bucolic charm.

Created during the late 17th or early 18th century, a period when the Grand Tour was popular among the European elite, the painting reflects the contemporary taste for Arcadian scenes and the idealized Italian countryside. Van Bloemen's work was influenced by his time in Italy, where he became a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome. His Italianate landscapes, such as "A Cowherd with Cattle, a Goat and a Donkey in an Italianate Landscape," were highly sought after by collectors and contributed to the dissemination of Italianate themes in Northern European art.

The painting is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its representation of the cultural and artistic exchange between Italy and the Low Countries during the Baroque period. It remains an important example of Pieter van Bloemen's oeuvre and of the genre of Italianate landscape painting in the Flemish tradition.
