Simon van der Does was a Dutch painter known for his pastoral landscapes and animal scenes. Born in 1653 in The Hague, he was a prominent figure in the Dutch Golden Age of painting. Van der Does was a pupil of the renowned painter Karel Dujardin, whose influence is evident in his detailed and idyllic depictions of rural life. One of his notable works is "Pastorale," which exemplifies his mastery in capturing the serene and bucolic essence of the countryside.

"Pastorale" is a quintessential example of van der Does' ability to blend naturalistic detail with a romanticized vision of rural tranquility. The painting typically features a harmonious composition of shepherds, livestock, and lush landscapes, often bathed in the soft, golden light of a setting or rising sun. Van der Does' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lifelike rendering of animals and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, which adds depth and realism to the scene.

The pastoral genre, which "Pastorale" belongs to, was highly popular during the 17th century, reflecting a nostalgic yearning for the simplicity and purity of rural life amidst the rapid urbanization and commercial growth of the period. Van der Does' work stands out for its poetic quality and the gentle, almost lyrical atmosphere it evokes. His landscapes are not just mere representations of nature but are imbued with a sense of peace and contentment, inviting viewers to escape into an idealized world far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life.

"Pastorale" and other works by Simon van der Does continue to be appreciated for their artistic merit and their ability to transport viewers to a serene and timeless pastoral idyll. His contributions to the pastoral genre have secured his place in the annals of Dutch art history, and his works remain a testament to the enduring appeal of the pastoral landscape in art.
