A Hilly Landscape with a Peacock, an Eagle and other Birds is a 1664 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a mix of birds in a wild, rocky scene. A peacock stands tall on the left, its feathers spread out. Nearby, an eagle swoops overhead, while smaller birds scatter around the ground. Some birds huddle together, and others look alert, as if ready to take flight. The artist paid close attention to how light and shadow shape the birds’ feathers, making them look almost three-dimensional. The background is rough and textured, like a real landscape. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow.
