EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Reynard the Fox: Reynard Chasing Hens" created by Allart van Everdingen in the 17th century, we are transported into a world of cunning and mischief. The Dutch artist masterfully captures a pivotal moment as Reynard, the sly fox, relentlessly pursues his feathered prey. With intricate detail and skillful use of light and shadow, van Everdingen brings to life the tension between predator and prey. The hens scatter in panic, their feathers ruffled as they desperately try to escape from Reynard's clutches. We can almost hear their frantic squawks piercing through the silence of the scene. The composition is carefully balanced with an array of textures - from the delicate lines etched on copper plate to depict fur and feathers, to the rough foliage that surrounds them. The lush landscape serves as a stark contrast to Reynard's sinister intentions. This print showcases van Everdingen's ability to capture both natural beauty and human-like characteristics in animals. It reminds us of our own vulnerabilities when faced with danger or deceit. As viewers, we are left pondering whether Reynard will succeed in his hunt or if justice will prevail for these innocent hens. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this artwork stands as a testament to van Everdingen's artistic prowess and continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation.
