Forest at dawn - hunting for deer

Date: 1635

"Forest at Dawn - Deer Hunting" (French: "La Chasse au Cerf dans la Forêt d'Ardenne au Petit Matin") is an oil painting by the Flemish Baroque painter Pieter Paul Rubens . Created around 1636, this painting depicts hunters in a woodland landscape as they prepare to hunt a deer.

The painting depicts a forest landscape at dawn. The picture shows a dense forest illuminated by the light of the rising sun. This light creates a bright contrast with the dark shadows in the forest.

In the foreground of the picture are hunters preparing to hunt. The hunters are armed with bows and hunting knives and are ready to go on their quest. Hunters are shown in motion, ready to go hunting. Some are in full swing while others are about to enter the forest. This creates the impression of movement and action in the image.

Rubens paid particular attention to detail and texture. The clothing of the hunters and their armor is carefully depicted, as are the leaves of the trees and the vegetation in the forest. The colors in the painting are warm and rich, which creates the impression of a beautiful morning and a moment of anticipation.

Petrus Paulus Rubens (1577-1639). Native German baroque painter. His work represents the perfect Baroque style, both in terms of composition (the interaction of colours, shapes and light) and themse. His paintings deviated aesthetically at the time – he often painted sensual female figures rationalistically. They are full of dynamics, colours and emotionally tense scenes. His work is independent, more personal and more informed than the creations of his time. For this reason, he significantly influenced his contemporaries.
