"Lioness vs Wild Boar: The Grandeur of Art"

(1579 Antwerp – 1657 ibid.) After two lionesses have killed a wild boar, a boar attacks them. This painting, created in the 18th century, depicts the main motif—a lioness biting a wild boar on the neck. It is based on the famous large-format work "Lioness against Wild Boar" by Frans Snyders, created around 1620-1625. The original painting was previously in the Bavarian Electoral Gallery and later entered the Alte Pinakothek in Munich (inv. no. 620). The artist of this 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. Framed. After Frans Snyders (1579-1657). Oil on oak panel.
