"Southern Landscape" is a painting by Dutch artist Jan Both, dating from 1633-1652. The painting depicts a picturesque Italianate landscape, characterized by rugged cliffs, dense foliage, and a winding path leading towards a distant vista. The scene is enlivened by the presence of figures and animals: a group of men on horseback are seen descending the path, accompanied by laden mules. This work is a fine example of the Italianate landscape genre, popular among Dutch artists of the 17th century. The painting is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
