1662
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Reynard the Fox: The Combat Between Reynard and the Wolf is a 1662 by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, depicting Hunting, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Here’s the scene: a wolf and a fox fight in a muddy pit. The wolf snarls, teeth bared. The fox dodges, muscles tense. This isn’t a noble hunt. It’s a trickster’s last stand. Reynard the Fox cheats—he’ll use any move to win. Van Everdingen shows the ugly truth of animal cunning. Look up this painter next: Allart van Everdingen (Dutch, 1621–1675).
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.
