The Bear Hunt & The Boar Hunt, c.1607-10, Oil on dendritic stone.
Antonio Tempesta
Italian, 1555-1630.
In both oval landscapes, the foreground is filled with hunters and hounds in pursuit of their prey. The delicate leaf forms on the branches of the trees and the shrubs in the foreground are not all painted. Some of them result from metallic deposits or dendrites within in the limestone support , commonly referred to as frost patterns. The larger deposits resemble trees, while the finer veining creates the illusion of small branches and leaves.
Antonio Tempesta used these natural markings to his advantage and allowed most of the dendrites to remain visible. He began experimenting on dendritic stone early in his career. These paintings are among his first works on stone.
