The contribution made by Domenichino to the development of seventeenth-century landscape painting began when he moved to Rome in 1602, There, in the Farnese workshop of Annibale Carracci, he adopted the model of his master's frescoes as well as his easel paintings. Neither of these landscapes has a narrative. Domenichino was soon to give up this type of painting in favour of literary, biblical or mythological subjects, as in this Landscape with the Flight into Egypt.
