The one 8,511 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 What's that the games hanging from it's like a statue of the devil ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,812 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) There's some interesting symbolism in it, I'm curious what the devil statue is all about and the men fleeing in the background...... Also the way it's painted as though there is a frame set into the painting with it forming part of the foreground at the bottom. Is this painted 'frame' supposed to be some sort of stone building or something? Can't find much info on it so can anyone explain?

BGD 6,436 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Check out A Deerhound with Dead Game and Implements of the Chase by Jan Weenix. One of my favourite hunting related paintings spot something I hadn't noticed before whenever I look at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I took the photo whilst at Edinburgh National Art Gallery today, a big painting, took up the side of a wall. It was indeed Jan Weenix https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Landscape_with_Huntsman_and_Dead_Game_1697_Jan_Weenix.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
