Description: | Signed: yes Description: This still life comprises various dead game birds and weapons, including a short sword. It was painted by the Dutch artist Cornelis Lelienbergh, who was a member of the artists' guild in The Hague in the 1640s and a founder of Pictura in 1656. In mid-career he specialised in the painting of game, a subject which came relatively late to the Dutch still-life tradition. Since hunting was the preserve of the wealthy, game-pieces such as this example alluded to the high social status of those who commissioned or purchased them. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lelienbergh, Cornelis (Dutch painter, 1626-1676) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8524... | Go to resource |
