Dutch painter, Nicolaes BERCHEM was a pupil of VAN GOYEN. After his time in this studio, he trained with J. B. Weenix, with whom he developed his marked taste for Italian landscapes. He therefore made several trips to Italy, notably between 1651 and 1553. His memories of this trip are well reflected in the painting Pâtres conduisant un troupeau de moutons vers la plaine ("Shepherds driving a flock of sheep towards the plain"). His influence on the painters of the early 18th century was considerable, and can be seen in both J. Vethagen and Pieter de Hooch.
