About the piece

Created in 1650 by Roelant Savery, this oil on panel depicts a 'paradise landscape' where diverse fauna—including a prominent ostrich, swans, and deer—coexist in a lush, shadowed environment. The work showcases the artist's signature fascination with animals and nature, rendered with the dramatic lighting and atmospheric depth characteristic of the Flemish-Dutch Golden Age.
