Roelant Savery (1576 – 25 February 1639) was a Flanders-born Dutch Golden Age painter.Landscape_with_Birds_-_WGA20885
Flowers in a stone niche, w/ some lizards & insects. Vanitas: stone is cracking, flowers will die -- but not these ones painted in 1615 by Roelant Savery! Today is his day.
2/2 A whole landscape filled with birds, including a dodo, painted in 1628 by Roelant Savery. Memorialist of dodo's.
Died (alas!) on this day in 1639, Roelant Savery. Painter of (mostly) the natural world but occasionally the unnatural. Here, a dodo from 1626. Also died, alas!
This trompe l'oeil style painting is Roelant Savery's "Vase of Flowers in a Stone Niche", 1615.
It teems with lively little creatures that look as if they might crawl right out.
This is also a beautiful example of artists SIGNING and DATING their work! No guessing required! 🎨
February 25, 1639: Flemish painter Roelant Savery dies.
Savery was apprenticed to his elder brother Jacob, who was also a painter.
After his brother's death, Roelant became court painter to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II (and his successor, Matthias).
🎨 "Noah's Ark", 1620s
Super-early flower still life painted in 1603 by Roelant Savery, before everybody else was doing flowers. Gorgeous! Also A+ lizards & bugs & shells.
Died (alas!) on this day in 1639, Roelant Savery. Painter of (mostly) the natural world but occasionally the unnatural. Here, a dodo from 1626. Also died, alas!
