Monogrammist “CV”, lion with its prey in a rocky landscape at sunset, animal piece, dated 1753 Oil/canvas, monogrammed “CV” and dated 1753 lower left, a lion with a killed goat in a rocky landscape at sunset, the predator turning its gaze towards the viewer, rocks on the right, a tree on the left, condition commensurate with age, heavy craquelure, backed areas, retouching, image 75.5x104.5 cm (HxW), framed, frame chipped, partly overpainted, frame width 9 cm The animal piece developed in the 16th c. as a branch of still life; in the 17th c. Dutch painters such as Roelant Savery, Frans Snyders and Paulus Potter placed groups of animals in landscapes. In the 18th c., with the Enlightenment, interest in the form of animals grew; the French court painter Jean-Baptiste Oudry studied them in the menagerie of Louis XV at Versailles and then painted them life-size in the studio. In the German-speaking world Johann Elias Ridinger (1698 Ulm – 1767 Augsburg) shaped the depiction of animals of his time with around 1,600 etchings, among them the “Betrachtung der wilden Thiere” of 1736; his prints were published by his own Augsburg publishing house. The painting dated 1753 with the lion over its prey belongs to this animal painting of the 18th c.
