Hen Run at a Manor,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating oil on canvas painting by the renowned Dutch artist Melchior d'Hondecoeter, dates back to the Baroque era between 1651 and 1695. This masterpiece showcases an idyllic scene of a manor's grounds, where a lively and varied assembly of birds and animals frolic and interact. At the heart of the composition lies a grand manor house, its red-tiled roof and ornate facade evoking a sense of opulence and grandeur. The manor's sprawling gardens are teeming with life, as ducks waddle through the water of an ornate urn, their reflections shimmering on the surface. A peacock struts proudly, its iridescent plumage on full display, while a tortoise makes its way across the grass, its ancient, wrinkled shell a stark contrast to the vibrant colors of its surroundings. A group of chickens and ducks cluck and quack in the foreground, their feathers ruffled in the gentle breeze. Two dogs, one a Danish hound and the other a Dane, watch over the scene with curious expressions. The low country landscape is dotted with trees and shrubs, their leaves a rich tapestry of green and gold. Melchior d'Hondecoeter's "Hen Run at a Manor" is a testament to the beauty and diversity of nature, captured in exquisite detail in this 17th-century oil painting. This artwork is a cherished part of the collection at the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark), a treasure of heritage art that continues to inspire and delight visitors to this day.
