1650
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Reynard Condemned is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a group of animals gathered around a small, rocky hill with a tower on top. In the center, a fox stands out—it looks nervous, surrounded by others like a dog, a cat, and a bird. The background is full of trees and bushes, with a winding path leading up to the hill. The fox’s tense posture suggests it’s in trouble, maybe being judged by the other animals. This kind of scene was common in old stories where animals stood in for people. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists like Everdingen made detailed prints.
