À propos du tableau
River Landscape with a Boar Hunt, or Dutch: Rivierlandschap met everzwijnjacht, is a c. 1600 painting by the Flemish artist Joos de Momper, now in the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam. The artist uses a high point of view, like in Altdorfer's The Battle of Alexander at Issus (1528–1529) and Brueghel's The Hunters in the Snow (1565). Later, de Momper mostly used a lower point of view, establishing what would become a typical feature of 17th century Dutch and Flemish landscapes, such as Windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede.
Selon le musée
Joos de Momper (1564 - 1635). River landscape with wild boar hunt, c. 1600. In this work the artist has created an impressive landscape. As was common at the time, the artist has added human figures: several men who are in the process of subduing a wild boar. The landscapes dating from this period were usually imaginary, although the artist always included a number of elements which actually existed. By around 1600 this type of landscape had evolved into a separate genre. De Momper even had someone else - Sebastiaan Vrancx - painting the figures. Joos de Momper composed his painting according to a fixed colourscheme: the foreground in brown, with the middleground in green fading into blue and becoming steadily lighter, creating the effect of depth. This illusion of depth is enhanced by the fact that various parts of the composition function as 'wings', almost as if the landscape is a stage. Purchased in 1958, with the support of the Jubileum-Fonds.
