Pair of hunting scenes with dogs monogrammed GDR, oil on copper, Flemish school of the 17th century, entourage of Frans Snyders.
Frans Snyders or Snijders (Antwerp, November 11, 1579 - August 19, 1657) was a Flemish Baroque painter, student of Pieter Bruegel the Younger and Hendrick van Balen, specializing in still life and animal painting.
His production consists mainly of still lifes and hunting scenes, to which he gave a new monumentality.Becoming master of the Guild of San Luca in 1602, his prolific workshop welcomed many students.And if the students were numerous and the copies of his works even more, yet few are of high quality, the majority of them being large oils on canvas for decorative purposes. In our case these are two small oils on copper, the work of an artist very close to Frans Snyders, full of this dynamism so dear to the master: the animals are carefully painted, the dogs jump, depending on the composition, on the deer or on the wolf, some fall, others arrive, still others, wounded, they lie on the ground in a grimace of pain. The bright red of the blood and the color of the dogs' fur animate the scene surrounded by the dark green of the forest.
Both are monogrammed “G.D.R.”
Oil on copper mounted on frame. In modern black lacquered frames.
