About the piece
This 1649 masterpiece by Paulus Potter displays the artist's renowned skill for animal anatomy and dramatic tension. The composition centers on a fierce bear defending itself against a pack of hounds, while a huntsman on a rearing horse prepares to strike, all set against a luminous Dutch landscape. The work is a quintessential example of Baroque sporting art.
