1662
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Reynard the Fox: The Badger Calls Reynard to Court is a 1662 by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a fox sitting under a tree with three badgers around him. In the background, there’s a village with a church and a mountain. The lines are sharp, and the scene looks quiet, like a moment frozen in time. The fox appears calm, almost like he’s waiting. This print is part of a series about Reynard the Fox, a trickster character from old stories. Next, check out Baroque to see how this style used drama and detail 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.
