Description: | Signed: yes Description: Verlat was an artist of refined academic technique and prodigious talent. Although his precision of line could at times create an impression of hardness, his large animal paintings were highly emotive. In hunting scenes such as this one he focused on the dynamic of the chase with the birds taking flight as the dogs hesitate at the water's edge. The huntsman shooting from behind the grasses plays only a minor role in the scene. The work would have been painted when Verlat was living in Paris. Pictured on the horizon to the right, however, is the tower of Antwerp Cathedral. | Subjects: | snipe); place (Antwerp) duck animal (dog | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verlat, Charles (Belgian painter and teacher, 1824-1890) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8843... | Go to resource |
