The Lion Hunt by Faisal Ali Qane



Faisal Ali Qane About The Lion Hunt

(By Faisal Ali Qane) Peter Paul Rubens became very precise approximately the prints made after his paintings, though he embraced the increased fame that they afforded him. Schelte Bolswert’s engraving of The Lion Hunt ably captures the roiling electricity of Rubens’s portray. The older artist proudly mentioned this painting in a 1621 letter: “I have nearly completed a large picture, absolutely through my hand, and for my part one of my best, representing a Lion Hunt, with the figures life-sized.” Given the printing process’s common reversing effect, Rubens might also have specifically asked that this engraving appears in the equal course as the painting.
