## Commentary

Pieter Boel, who specialized in game still-lifes, owes much to Jan Fyt. He may also have been one of his students, possibly after having first trained under Frans Snyders. Boel worked with a smoother touch than Fyt; the specifically Italian manner of still-life painting also seems to have been important in the shaping of his style.
