The Hunting Party

The Hunting Party

SK-C-249

signature and date: ‘A. v. Velde f. 1669’

In the paintings from Van de Velde’s final years, humans and animals occupy a steadily more prominent place, and the landscape serves as décor for the scene. Here we witness the calm beginning of a hunting party. No one is in a hurry, two men have even sat down. A giant dog sniffs at a bone, while another one naps.
