This abstract painting is inspired by Jan Asselijn's famous work The endangered swan, an iconic piece from the 17th century. Instead of the realistic depiction of the swan and her protective stance, this design reinterprets the subject through abstract but recognisable shapes and colours. The powerful energy of the swan, originally protecting her eggs from a threatening dog, comes alive in dynamic lines and contrasting hues. The work evokes emotions of protection and strength, but also invites the viewer to experience the symbolism in a personal and modern way. A contemporary twist on a classic theme, this unique painting adds a sophisticated abstraction to any interior. Perfect for art lovers who appreciate both the history of painting and modern expression.
