Old Masters Paintings and Antique Furniture from the 16th to the 18th century
This fox in the chicken coop, oil on canvas, 105 x 156 without frame and 135 x 185 cm with frame, was clearly painted by Angelo Maria Crivelli (Milan 1660 - 1730) called Crivellone; painter from the Milanese stable but also very active in Piedmont thanks to the Savoy family.
The theme in question was very successful in his time and he also developed it vertically, as we can see in some of his works at Castello Sforzesco; here the defense of the hen house during the day is entrusted to a dog that angrily takes sides immediately against the fox, defends the hen house even a hen while the chicks are scattered here and unaware of the danger.
This canvas painted at the end of the seventeenth century is imbued with the great artistic qualities of the painter who was a great exponent of this trend at the time and who is being rediscovered in recent years.
