A Classical Landscape 1660s

Sebastien Bourdon's "A Classical Landscape" from the 1660s features a serene garden with a white marble statue of a rearing horse, a fountain, and a group of figures in the foreground. The background hints at a more bustling city scene. With its deep greens and muted blues, this painting is a prime example of the classical landscape genre favored by French artists during the 17th century. The painting is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
