Description: | A dead hare is set upside down against a basket full of poultry, near a string of sausages and a basket of peaches and grapes. A fragment of Ionic column can be seen against a landscape with buildings beyond. This painting could be the work of a follower of Jan Fyt, who adopted a characteristic tonal palette and dynamic treatment of the genre. The use of chiaroscuro (extreme contrasts of light and dark) suggests the influence of Italian still-life painting. | Subjects: | still life (fruit game) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Fyt, Jan (Flemish painter, 1611-1661) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9036... | Go to resource |
