1662
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Reynard the Fox: Reynard Tricks the Wolf is a 1662 by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows two animals in a wooded scene. A fox stands on its hind legs, holding something in its front paws, while a wolf sits nearby, looking up. Trees and bushes fill the background, with a small building and a church steeple faintly visible in the distance. The fox’s clever pose suggests it’s outsmarting the wolf, a classic trickster tale. The artist used shading to create depth, making the animals look real and alive. Next, check out Baroque for more dramatic, lively art like this.
