EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of a hawk attacking poultry in a farmyard. Painted by Pieter Casteels in the 17th century, this oil on canvas artwork showcases his mastery in depicting wildlife and farm animals with remarkable detail and color. The composition measures 101.7x125.8 cm and is currently held in a private collection, representing an exquisite example of Flemish art from that era. The scene portrays chaos and disorder as the hawk swoops down upon its unsuspecting prey, creating a sense of urgency and tension. In this vibrant image, we see various farm animals caught up in the commotion - ducks, ducklings, roosters, chickens - all desperately trying to defend themselves against the bird of prey's attack. The colors are richly painted, bringing life to each animal's feathers or plumage. The farmhouse stands stoically amidst the frenzy unfolding outside its walls. This painting serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by farmers throughout history to protect their livestock and ensure food supply for their communities. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historic masterpiece without any interference from people or commercial use intentions. It allows us to appreciate Casteels' skillful brushwork while immersing ourselves in nature's raw power at play within our agricultural landscapes centuries ago.
