Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting follows the action from the accompanying work (inv. no. P 53). The thrill of the climax, when the stag is caught, is conveyed through the composition of figures coming from the left and chasing the stag into the centre foreground of the painting. Hunting has long had aristocratic associations. During the seventeenth century a revival of hunting scenes occurred in art. Many Flemish artists, including Wyck, Rubens and Snyders, represented this theme in their paintings to appeal to a broad clientele comprising the upper and middle classes. These paintings appealed to the middle classes because of their desire to emulate an upper-class lifestyle. | Subjects: | dog); figure landscape; animal (horse | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wyck, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1640 - 1700, active in England) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8850... | Go to resource |
