Vânat lângă un arbore (în registrul inventar: Vânat mort lângă un copac) is an unspecified by Jan Fyt, a Baroque work, depicting Hunting, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
A deer lies on its side in the grass next to a tree. The artist used thick paint to build up the fur. It looks almost real but not quite. The dark green leaves above contrast with the pale sky and grass. The rough brushwork makes the deer seem soft, not stiff. See it yourself at the Museum of Ethnography.
Jan Fyt made still lifes that put dead game birds, hunting gear, and flowers together in quiet, shadowy rooms and wooded clearings.
