Continental, Circa 1880  Dimensions: H: 49 in / 125 cm W: 35 in / 89.5 cm Melchior de Hondecoeter (1636-1695) The Dutch painter De Hondecoeter specialised in painting animals, and birds in particular. The popularity of his work endured and in the 19th century he was known as the "Raphael of birds". His training began in Utrecht with his father Gijsbert and his uncle Jan Baptist Weenix. After several years working in The Hague, he settled in Amsterdam in 1663 where he remained for the rest of his life, providing large-scale pictures for the town houses and country estates of the city's wealthy citizens.
