About the piece
Painted around 1672, this work by Jan Hackaert showcases the artist's skill in depicting the play of light through a dense forest canopy. A small hunting party with horses and dogs moves through the foreground, dwarfed by the magnificent, reaching forms of the trees that dominate the composition, creating a sense of both grandeur and quietude.
