Description: | The painting shows the hunting party emerging from the forest and plunging across a stream. With their many hounds they have caught up with the deer. Diana, goddess of hunting, identifiable by the crescent in her hair, is about to spear a doe. One of her companions aims her bow at a stag; another blows a horn. According to Arnout Balis the present painting is one of at least seven painted copies of a lost original by Rubens. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal; mythology (Diana) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Rubens, Peter Paul (Flemish painter and draftsman, 1577-1640) Æ After Attributed to Thomas, Jan (Flemish painter and engraver, 1617-1673) Previously attributed to Rubens, Peter Paul (Flemish painter and draftsman, 1577-1640) Previously attributed to Vos, Paul de (Flemish painter, born 1591-1592 or 1595, died 1678) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8916... | Go to resource |
