Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting forms a pair with EU 735. However, only this painting is upheld as by Snyders and a signature has recently been discovered on the collar of one of the dogs. Snyders worked closely with Rubens; van Dyck considered him to be Rubens's most talented assistant. He studied with Pieter Breughel in 1593 and may also have studied with Hendrick van Balen. Snyder's early paintings had an idyllic character completely at odds with the violence of his later hunting scenes. He treated animal subjects such as this with all the importance of history painting, both in their scale and in the intensity and drama of the struggle. | Subjects: | animal | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Snyders, Frans (Flemish painter, 1579-1657) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8382... | Go to resource |
