Andriessen and his workshop specialized in creating suites of large-scale murals made to decorate elegant homes in Amsterdam. This group of murals depicts Arcadian Landscapes. Arcadia was a mythical realm inhabited by shepherds, nymphs, and satyrs. In this rustic and secluded imaginary region, life was simple yet happy.
