"A Wooded Landscape with Herders Resting and Cattle and Sheep Grazing" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Salomon van Ruysdael. This pastoral scene exemplifies van Ruysdael's skill in capturing the serene beauty of the Dutch countryside and reflects the period's growing interest in naturalistic landscapes. The painting is characterized by its tranquil depiction of herders and their livestock within a lush, verdant setting, showcasing van Ruysdael's adept use of light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere.

Salomon van Ruysdael, born Salomon de Gooyer, was an influential landscape painter and a member of the notable van Ruysdael family of artists, which included his younger brother Isaack and his famous nephew Jacob van Ruisdael. Salomon was known for his river scenes, dune landscapes, and depictions of the flat Dutch terrain, often populated with figures and animals to add a narrative element to his works.

In "A Wooded Landscape with Herders Resting and Cattle and Sheep Grazing," the artist's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the foliage, the texture of the animals' coats, and the relaxed postures of the herders. The composition likely reflects the idyllic and idealized view of rural life that was prevalent in Dutch art at the time, rather than a specific location. Van Ruysdael's use of color and his ability to convey the quality of light enhance the painting's overall sense of harmony and peacefulness.

The work is part of a larger oeuvre of Dutch landscapes that were highly sought after in the 17th century, both for their aesthetic qualities and for their embodiment of the Dutch Republic's pride in its land and prosperity. Today, Salomon van Ruysdael's paintings are held in high esteem and can be found in major museums and collections worldwide, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their contribution to the development of landscape painting.
