Pastoral Caravan (Jacob’s Journey?)

The theme of the pastoral journey, often linked to the stories of the Old Testament patriarchs, was tirelessly revisited by Castiglione and became widely disseminated through engraving. The freedom of his linework and the central prominence given to the animals bear witness to his enduring influence on Italian engravers of the second half of the 17th century.
