Isaac van Amburgh and his Animals

Sir Edwin Landseer

new21/Sir Edwin Landseer-249937.jpg

1839 Oil on canvas Royal Collection, Windsor Van Amburgh reclines in the cage surrounded by a tiger, a lion, a lioness and two leopards. He wears a coat of mail, presumably not as a form of protection but perhaps, judging by the footwear, as a form of costume (part Roman and part medieval). There are scratches on the skin of his right forearm and on his neck. The sheen on the coats of the animals reveals Landseer's superb technique, as in the balance between the underpaint and the highlight on the lioness, or the spots visible beneath the top layer of paint on the two leopards. Artist: LANDSEER, Sir Edwin Henry Title: Isaac van Amburgh and his Animals (detail) , painting Date: 1801-1850 English : genre
