Italian Landscape with Umbrella Pines

Voogd was called the 'Dutch Claude', after the French painter Claude Lorrain, who was famous for his historical landscapes, bathed in golden light. Voogd painted the gardens of the Villa Borghese in Rome late in the afternoon: the sun casts long shadows and the trees stand out sharply against the sky. Hikers enjoy the beautiful sunset. In the foreground an artist is drawing against a tree.
