Description
Spanish school, 17th century.
"Hunting Scene". After models by PAUL DE VOS (Antwerp, 1591/95 - 1678).
Oil on canvas.
Re-coloured.
Frame of the 20th century, following ancient models.
Size: 96 x 152 cm; 115 x 172 cm (frame).
The pack of hounds is a subject of great tradition in Flemish Baroque painting, which was also very popular in Spanish circles in the 17th century, as it was in great demand among the aristocracy. The present painting is inspired above all by the fierce fights between animals that Paul de Vos repeatedly staged. A lion is being attacked by three dogs, but he has already defeated one of them. The tension and drama is concentrated in the gaping jaws, the torn flesh, the bloodshot eyes, the scarred muscles of the dogs' beautiful anatomies. The landscape background is also reminiscent of many of De Voos's models. The silver sky, heralding a storm, provides an ideal context for the drama of wildlife. The white and ochre fur combines in a studied contrast of velvety chromaticism.
