**Landscape with Poultry and Birds of Prey**
In this exquisite oil on canvas painting, Dutch master Melchior d'Hondecoeter (1596-1650) transports us to a serene countryside scene teeming with life. The artist's keen eye for detail captures the majesty of birds in flight, as well as the humble charm of poultry roaming freely.
Against a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills, majestic raptors such as eagles and hawks soar through the sky, their sharp talons outstretched. Meanwhile, domesticated fowl like roosters and chickens strut about with quiet confidence. The artist's use of color is masterful, with warm hues evoking a sense of sun-kissed tranquility.
This landscape is a testament to d'Hondecoeter's skill as an animal painter during the Dutch Golden Age (17th century). His work was highly regarded by contemporaries and has continued to delight art lovers for centuries. This particular piece, part of the esteemed Thyssen-Bornemisza collection in Madrid, Spain, is a treasured gem within Heritage Images' vast archive.
Step into this idyllic scene and experience the beauty of nature as d'Hondecoeter so masterfully captured it – a true masterpiece from one of Europe's most celebrated art periods.
