Author's biography |
Flemish painter and etcher, primarily of still-life and hunting pieces. He was mainly active in his native Antwerp, where he was a pupil of Snyders, but in the course of his successful and prolific career he also travelled in France, the Netherlands, and Italy.Like Snyders, Fyt painted elaborate style of decorative still-life associated with the circle of Rubens. His most characteristic paintings depict trophies of the hunt, dead stags, hares, and birds, all treated with a feeling for texture and details akin to that often seen in Dutch still-life. The rare flower paintings by Fyt are exceptionally fine and more attuned, perhaps, to modern taste. |
