From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Reynard the Fox: The Bear Calls Reynard to Court is a 1662 by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a scene from an allegory, with a large bear standing on its hind legs in the foreground. The bear appears to be calling out to someone or something in the distance, its mouth open and its front paws raised. In the background, a small building or structure can be seen, surrounded by trees and hills. The painting is done in a style that suggests a sense of drama and tension, with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The bear is rendered in great detail, with its fur and muscles visible beneath its skin. The background is more subdued, with softer colors and less detail. The painting is an example of Baroque art, characterized by its use of chiaroscuro and dramatic lighting. The artist, Allart van Everdingen, was a Dutch painter who was active in the 17th century. This painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
