"Lioness vs. Wild Boar: The Grandeur of Art"

(1579 Antwerp - 1657 there as well.) After two lionesses killed a wild boar, they are attacked by a boar. This painting, created in the 18th century, depicts the main motif—a lioness biting into the neck of a wild boar. It is based on the well-known large-format work "Lioness versus Wild Boar" by Frans Snyders, created around 1620-1625. The original painting was previously in the Bavarian Electoral Gallery and later ended up in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich (inv. no. 620). The artist of the present painting expanded the group of characters by adding additional animals and placed them in a completely different landscape. Oil on oak panel. Approximately 21.5 cm x 29 cm. In a frame. After Frans Snyders (1579-1657). Oil on oak panel.
