Jacob de Heusch was a Dutch Italianate painter who trained in the Netherlands but later traveled to Rome and became inspired by the splendor of the classical ruins. Trained by his cousin and fellow Dutch Italianate painter, Willem de Heusche, Jacob typically produced Roman landscapes featuring pastoral subjects bathed in a warm, southern light. As a member of the third generation of Dutch Italianates, de Heusch’s landscapes are usually idealized rather than detailed representations of the Roman countryside.
