COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Flemish artists of the 17th century, like Roelandt Savery and Jan van Kessel, use a narrative subject as a vehicle for painting their animals, while Frans Snyders, by contrast, takes a realistic starting point - a market scene - for his painting of the Fishmonger's. The dramatic, large format was also used for hunting scenes.
