Description: | Signed: yes Description: This work is perhaps one of the most important examples of Northern Mannerist painting in a public collection in Britain today. Wtewael was one of the principal painters in Utrecht of his day, and in this large scale and ambitious work can be seen the influence of Roelant Savery, and his paintings of animals, as well as true Mannerist traits such as the elongated figures, and contorted, contraposto positions. It was painted ten years after the publication of Karel van Mander's Het Schilder Boek, in which, despite his youth, Wtewael's talent was recognised. | Subjects: | rabbit bird frog goat deer); landscape sheep religion (Adam; Eve); figure; animal (snake dog bull | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wtewael, Joachim Anthonisz (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1566-1638) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8409... | Go to resource |
