Description: | Lelienbergh was active in The Hague, and was the city's most important game painter. He entered the painter's guild in The Hague in 1646. Dated paintings are found between 1650 and 1676. His earliest still-lifes are stylistically simple, nearly monochromatic trophy pieces that utilize a dramatic chiaroscuro (extreme contrasts of light and dark) and crisp colour accents. His brushstrokes shifted from loose, fluent stroke to a tighter more precise style. From 1546 he created larger and more monumental trophy' pieces. After 1650, Lelienbergh introduced the suspended bird. This vertical element creates a more monumental and dramatic composition, reminiscent of Elias Vonck and Jan Baptist Weenix. | Subjects: | still life (game); animal | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lelienbergh, Cornelis (Dutch painter, 1626-1676) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8663... | Go to resource |
