Zusammenfassung
This article brings to light an unpublished work by Jenaro Pérez Villaamil, the most characteristic landscape painter of Spanish Romanticism. Villaamil was unusual in that he focused not on the genre of the landscape itself but instead painted animals, the speciality from which numerous invasions are known through this painter from Ferrol. In this canvas, the influence of Belgian artists of the 19th century dedicated to this subject matter can clearly be appreciated. In particular, the artist is unmistakably indebted to the work of Louis Robbe, whom this Galician met personally during his trip to Belgium in the early 40s of the nineteenth century, and also during Robbe’s stay in Madrid in 1844.
