EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 17th-century oil on canvas, Jan van Kessel, the Elder transports us to a serene wooded landscape teeming with life. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he masterfully captures the essence of nature's beauty. At the center of the composition stands a proud and majestic cock, its vibrant plumage contrasting against the lush greenery that surrounds it. A regal turkey struts nearby, displaying its magnificent feathers with equal grandeur. Hens and other birds gracefully perch upon branches or flutter through the air, creating a symphony of colors and movement. The forest itself becomes an integral part of this idyllic scene; towering trees provide shelter for these feathered creatures while also framing their presence within the painting. Sunlight filters through gaps in foliage, casting dappled shadows upon the forest floor and adding depth to this enchanting woodland setting. Van Kessel's skillful rendering invites us into a world where time seems suspended - where we can almost hear birdsong echoing through quiet glades and feel a gentle breeze rustling leaves overhead. This print serves as a window into an era long past yet forever preserved in artistry. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this masterpiece by Jan van Kessel continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and remarkable attention to detail.
