829. A STAG HUNT.
Jan Hackaert (Dutch: 1629-1696).
Hackaert was a native of Amsterdam, but between the years 1653 and 1658 he travelled much in Switzerland, Germany, and Italy. At this time he chose his subjects from the mountains. In painting the landscape of his own country he especially affected woodland views, with effects of light shining through the trees.
The figures in this picture are attributed to N. Berchem.
