1662
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Reynard the Fox: Reynard Exonerates Himself is a 1662 by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a chaotic crowd of animals in a wooded scene. A large fox stands at the center, surrounded by a dog, a rooster, a cat, and a few smaller animals. Trees and bushes fill the background, and the animals look tangled up in each other. The fox seems to be the main focus, with its body turned toward the other creatures. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create a sense of movement and drama. Next, check out Baroque to see how this style used bold, dramatic scenes.
Allaert van Everdingen (Dutch pronunciation: ; bapt. 18 June 1621 – 8 November 1675 (buried)), was a Dutch Golden Age painter and printmaker in etching and mezzotint.
