Frankenthal School - Landscape with Waterfall and Hunting Party Art Print
An archival premium Quality Art Print of a Landscape with Waterfall and Hunting Party by the Frankenthal School for sale by Brandywine General Store. This is a beautiful print showing a forested landscape with a waterfall coming down thru the middle of the scene. The river has a couple stone bridges over the water, a tall mountain is to the left and a hunting party is scattered throughout the scene. It appears that the hunters have speared a huge stag and the dogs have this animal cornered in the river. The rich colors are what sets this picture apart, it almost looks like a painting on velvet. The term, Frankenthal School, refers to a group of landscape artists living in Frankenthal Germany from 1586 to the decade of the 1620s. These artists were chiefly immigrants from Flanders and Brabant who were fleeing religious persecution after the fall of Mechelen and Antwerp to the Spanish in 1585. It used to be thought that this was actually a colony of painters, a "Frankenthal School" but more recent research shows that this small and ever changing group of landscape artists probably never numbered more than a few artists at any one time. Gilis van Coninxloo III was the most important member of this small group of painters. Old Masters art print #46
