Plecare la vânătoare cu câini; pandant: Plecare la vânătoare cu șoimi is a work by Johann Georg Hamilton, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a group of men on horseback, all dressed in bright red coats and black hats. Some horses are saddled with ornate red blankets, and a few dogs lie or sit in the foreground, looking relaxed. The background has a calm sky with fluffy clouds and a few trees, while the ground is a mix of grass and dirt. Notice how the artist used soft lighting to make the figures stand out against the bright sky. The red coats and horses contrast sharply with the green and blue tones around them. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
A Habsburg court printmaker in the late 1600s, Johann Georg Hamilton carved lively hunting scenes that feel like frozen moments on the wall.
