"An Italianate Landscape with Shepherds with Goats, Sheep and Cattle Resting by a River" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Willem Romeyn. Born in Haarlem around 1624, Romeyn was known for his pastoral landscapes that often featured livestock and were influenced by the Italianate style, which was popular among Dutch artists of the period who sought to infuse their works with the warm light and idyllic settings reminiscent of the Italian countryside.

This particular painting is a quintessential example of Romeyn's oeuvre, depicting a serene and bucolic scene where shepherds are seen tending to their flocks by a river. The composition typically showcases a tranquil pastoral landscape bathed in soft, golden light, with meticulous attention to the rendering of animals and foliage, which was a hallmark of Romeyn's work. The foreground is usually animated with various domestic animals at rest, while the shepherds are depicted engaging in daily activities, thus providing a glimpse into the pastoral life that was idealized in the 17th-century Dutch imagination.

The painting's Italianate influence is evident in the classical elements of the landscape, such as the inclusion of ruins or architectural features that evoke the Roman countryside. The use of light and shadow, as well as the careful arrangement of the natural elements, creates a harmonious and peaceful scene that invites contemplation.

Willem Romeyn's works are significant for their contribution to the Dutch Italianate landscape genre, and "An Italianate Landscape with Shepherds with Goats, Sheep and Cattle Resting by a River" is a prime example of his skill in blending Dutch realism with Italianate aesthetics. The painting not only reflects the artistic trends of the time but also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the pastoral landscape in European art.

While the exact date of creation for this work may not be documented, it is consistent with Romeyn's artistic period, which spanned from the mid-17th century until his death in 1694. The painting is held in private collections and museums and has been featured in various art historical studies that examine the Dutch Italianate tradition and the pastoral genre in European painting.
