EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "College of Animals, 1655" an exquisite oil on canvas painting by Cornelis Saftleven. The artwork, measuring 66.7x85 cm, is housed in the prestigious Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA as part of The Karl and Esther Hoblitzelle Collection. Saftleven's masterpiece takes us into a whimsical world where animals reign supreme. In this surreal scene, anthropomorphic creatures gather together to form their own academic institution – the College of Animals. Dogs stroll elegantly with walking sticks while owls perch attentively on tree branches. A goat and pigs engage in conversation as birds flutter around them. The artist's imaginative approach brings forth a fanciful display that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. With meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Saftleven creates a mesmerizing atmosphere filled with strange yet enchanting animal characters. "College of Animals" invites viewers to contemplate the intricate relationship between humans and animals through anthropomorphism – attributing human characteristics to non-human beings. This thought-provoking piece challenges our perception of nature while celebrating its diversity. As we gaze upon this extraordinary painting captured beautifully in this print by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the boundless creativity within art that allows us to explore new realms beyond our imagination.
