De Neve specialised in merging mythological narratives with pastoral settings. In works like Narcissus and Echo and Diana and Endymion, the figures are not mere additions to the scenery. Instead, they occupy a balanced space where the natural world feels as structured as a stage set. His technique often involved soft light and balanced compositions, avoiding the harsh contrasts common in Baroque painting. Pieces such as Landscape with the Trained Dog demonstrate his ability to find charm in everyday rural life while maintaining a refined, classical aesthetic.

Modern collectors value de Neve for the calm, atmospheric quality of his work. His paintings provide a sense of order and quietude that suits contemporary interiors. The combination of classical myth and muted tones in Landscape with Shepherds and Shepherdess makes his prints versatile. These works offer a window into a stylised, peaceful past without the heavy religious overtones found in other seventeenth-century art. His work is a choice for those who appreciate the intersection of history and nature.
