About ‘Peacock and Hunting Trophies, Jan Weenix’
Peacock and Hunting Trophies, Jan Weenix
This large composition, in the style of late seventeenth-century decorative paintings, depicts various hunting trophies and a peacock framed by a landscape background. The inanimate position of the swan conforms to a widely used model for works of this type, and was frequent in compositions by artists such as Frans Snyders (1579-1657). In the background stands a large urn decorated with bas-reliefs. The work dates from a period, when the artist was working on a series of twelve compositions on hunting motifs commissioned by the Palatine Elector Johann Wilhem for the Castle of Bensberg (1712 to 1714).
This painting, part of a genre that was highly successful at the time in the Netherlands, reconciles the still life with the depiction of live animals, in an allusion to certain species whose hunting at the time represented the specific privilege of the nobility.
