Description: | Signed: yes Description: The Flemish painter Pieter Casteels (1684-1749) was celebrated for his decorative paintings of birds. This canvas, painted in England, includes a turkey, peafowl, chickens and pigeons, as well as a pair of domestic rabbits. The setting, typical of Casteel's paintings, is a garden of an unseen house, complete with classical urn and fountain, both of which give the canvas an Italianate character. Casteels retired from painting in 1735 and became a calico designer. | Subjects: | peafowl animal (turkey chickens pigeons and rabbits); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Casteels, Pieter (Flemish painter, 1684-1749) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8561... | Go to resource |
