About the Item
Around the middle of the 19th century, the missionary Thomas Savage and the anatomist Jeffries Wyman described a new animal species – the Troglodytes Gorilla – in their Boston Society for Natural History article. The French naturalist and anatomical model maker, Dr Louis Auzoux, was eager to dissect and research that gorilla and made this known to the French emperor, Napoléon III. The latter arranged for a specimen, preserved in alcohol, to be transferred from Gabon to France in 1863. Auzoux carried out the dissection in the amphitheatre of the Ecole de Médecine in Paris in the presence of the emperor and his entourage.
Later, Auzoux made a three-dimensional didactic model of the gorilla using paper, clay and cork. The model was what is called an 'anatomic clastique'. This means that it was made to be disassembled into different parts like an actual dissection. It was a valuable aid for university professors and students. Dominique Yee (b. 1960), a Flemish painter with Chinese roots, was inspired by Auzoux's model of the Troglodytes Gorilla and made four acrylic paintings of it. She focused on the gorilla's face and tried to catch the expression of the animal in broad, accurate brushstrokes. The attractiveness of her work lies in the directness.

- 17th C, Baroque, Hunting Scene, Wild Boar Hunt in the style of Frans SnijdersLocated in brussel, BEHunting played an essential role in the lives of princes and nobles for centuries. It was no different in the 17th century. Paintings depicting hunting scenes were hung, for example, in the hunting lodges of elites. It should be noted that the upper bourgeoisie also began to show interest in painted hunting scenes during the 17th century. In the Southern Netherlands there were a number of skilled animal painters who produced hunting scenes, including Frans Snijders, Paul De Vos, Jan Roos, Pieter Boel and Jan Fyt. Snijders knew how to render the anatomy of the animals masterfully. Also, he managed to make his animals look intelligent. He let them express a variety of feelings. His colleague, Paul De Vos, seems to have been less familiar with animal anatomy. His animals lack a kind of individuality and psychological expression. The panel shows a boar hunt with dogs. It was a prevalent theme, portrayed by Rubens, Snijders, De Vos and others. Buyers were especially interested in the showdown between animal species. The mental and physical strength appealed to their imagination. The painter of this little work has no solid knowledge of dog breeds. Due to a lack of insight into dogs' bone and muscle structure, he makes them look rather stiff. Mainly the heads have something naïve about them. It cannot be ruled out that the artist of this painting is Jan van Kessel...Category
