Description
Attributed to Roelant Savery, 'Paradisical landscape with animals', oil on copper (+)
In the background scenery, the mythological scene of Orpheus and the Thracian women is depicted.
Another very closely related version of this composition, of similar dimensions painted on panel and not on copper, is in the collection of the Gemaldegalerie der Akademie der Bildenden Kunste, Vienna. The Vienna picture is not signed but is dated by Kurt Mullenmeister (2) to around 1628, a decade later than the present version. However, previously it had been dated by Kurt Erasmus to 1618. (1) (See also "Roelant Savery, , Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien - Landschaft mit Tieren (Im Hintergrund, Orpheus und die thrakischen Weiber) - GG 1091 - Kunsthistorisches Museum.jpg)
Savery was attracted to this subject: he painted no less than 25 treatments of it between 1617 and 1628. By 1616 Savery was in Amsterdam, following some peripatetic years after his employment in Rudolfine Prague came to an end. He finally settled in Utrecht in 1619, the year after he painted this work.
