1662
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Reynard the Fox: Reynard and the Badger Depart for Court is a 1662 by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a group of foxes and a badger walking toward a castle on a hill. Trees and bushes fill the background, and the animals look alert, moving in a line. The castle has tall towers and a spire, with a fence running along the hillside. The title hints this scene is about a clever fox named Reynard heading to court. The artist used sharp lines and shading to show texture, like fur and foliage. Next, look up Baroque to see how this style used drama and movement in art.
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.
