EDITORS COMMENTS
Cornelis Lelienbergh's Still Life with Black Rooster and Two Rabbits, painted in 1659, is a captivating work of Old Master art from the Dutch Low Countries during the seventeenth century. This oil on canvas painting showcases a vivid still life composition, where the black rooster and two rabbits are arranged in a thoughtfully composed tableau. The rooster, with its proud and alert demeanor, hangs upside down, freshly hunted and dead, while the two rabbits, one alive and the other dead, sit beside it. The use of black as the dominant color adds a sense of depth and contrast to the painting, enhancing the visual impact of the scene. This artistic masterpiece is a prime example of the Dutch artistic movement during the 17th century, which focused on the exploration of the natural world and the depiction of everyday objects. The close-up perspective and the inclusion of dead animals were common themes in Dutch still life painting, reflecting the hunting culture and the appreciation for the bounty of nature. The Still Life with Black Rooster and Two Rabbits by Cornelis Lelienbergh is now part of the heritage of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Europe, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. This painting is a testament to the enduring legacy of Old Master art and the rich cultural heritage of the Dutch Low Countries.
