Description: | This is the pendant to Still Life with Fruit and Birds (Hill of Tarvit) by Hungarian-born painter Jakob Bogdany. Both feature two exotic birds, a basket with grapes, and a view into the distance. However, the composition is more complicated here: water comes out of a rock, which acts as a backdrop to the basket to the right. The basket has tumbled over; the grapes are spilled onto the ground. One bird appears agitated, while the other is seen in profile, in an artificial pose, with one wing spread and head turned. Bodgdany was active in the Netherlands and England. | Subjects: | still life; animal (birds) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bogdany, Jakob (Hungarian painter, ca.1660-1724) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Bogdany, Jakob (Hungarian painter, ca.1660-1724) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8564... | Go to resource |
