Landscape with a Stag Hunt is a 1661 oil by Gillis Rombouts, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a forest scene with a large tree in the center. The tree has a thick trunk and branches that stretch up towards the sky. The leaves are a mix of green and brown colors. In the foreground, there are people on horseback, some of whom are wearing red jackets. They appear to be hunting, as there are dogs running around them. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a rich and detailed look. The artist has used a range of colors to create depth and texture in the scene. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, as if the hunters and their dogs are about to burst out of the frame.
