Jan Frans Soolmaker was a Flemish painter known for his Italianate landscapes, often depicting pastoral scenes with ruins and livestock. "Hirten mit Vieh in Ruinen" (Shepherds with Cattle in Ruins) is one of his notable works, showcasing his characteristic style that blends Northern European precision with Italian influences.

The painting typically features shepherds tending to their cattle amidst ancient ruins, a common theme in Soolmaker's oeuvre. This juxtaposition of pastoral life against the backdrop of decaying architecture reflects the 17th-century fascination with the classical past and the romanticization of rural life. Soolmaker's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, creates a harmonious composition that draws the viewer into the serene yet nostalgic atmosphere.

Soolmaker was part of a movement of Northern European artists who traveled to Italy or were influenced by Italian art, known as the Bamboccianti. These artists were inspired by the landscapes and ruins of Italy, which they incorporated into their works, often adding a sense of timelessness and tranquility.

While specific details about "Hirten mit Vieh in Ruinen" may not be extensively documented, the painting is representative of Soolmaker's broader body of work. His paintings are appreciated for their technical skill and the way they capture the interplay between human activity and the natural world.

Soolmaker's works are held in various collections, and his influence can be seen in the way he bridged Flemish and Italian artistic traditions. His paintings continue to be studied for their contribution to the development of landscape painting in the Baroque period.
