Fox and Cat among the Fowl

Angelo Maria Crivelli, known as Crivellone

Sforzesco Castle

Sforzesco Castle
Milan, Italy

The
  paint is applied here with thin, overlapping brushstrokes and the artist has
  favoured the use of clean colours. The
  canvas probably belonged to a series of several works, together with Farmyard Animals: Cockerel, Two Hens and
  Seven Chicks, also exhibited in the Pinacoteca del Castello.
  Here, the artist contrasts the two animals - the cat and the
  fox – from Flemish models, in particular from the painter Jan Fyt.
