From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Reynard the Fox: The Suspension of the Sentence is a 1662 by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a forest scene with several animals. In the center, a large fox sits on its haunches, looking at a smaller animal on the ground. To the left, a bear and a sheep stand together, while a dog approaches from the right. The background features trees and hills. The scene is depicted in a detailed and realistic style, with the animals rendered in a lifelike manner. The use of shading and texture adds depth and dimension to the image. This painting is a great example of the Baroque style, which emphasizes dramatic lighting and intense emotions.
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.
