Painting Description
"The Large Cat" (Duthuit 46; Holl. 42) is a notable etching by the Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelius de Visscher (1629–1658). This work exemplifies de Visscher's skill in the art of engraving and etching, showcasing his ability to render textures and fine details with remarkable precision. The piece is often admired for its lifelike portrayal of a domestic cat, which is depicted in a state of repose, exuding an air of calm and contemplation.
Cornelius de Visscher was part of a family of engravers and was known for his portraits and genre scenes, as well as his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a high degree of realism. "The Large Cat" stands out in his oeuvre as a testament to his mastery of the etching medium and his keen observation of animal anatomy and behavior. The etching is characterized by its intricate use of line and contrast, which brings out the texture of the cat's fur and the softness of its form.
The work is referenced by two catalog numbers, Duthuit 46 and Hollstein 42, which correspond to the cataloging systems of Michel Duthuit and Friedrich Wilhelm Hollstein, respectively. These numbers are used by scholars and collectors to identify specific prints by de Visscher and to distinguish them within the larger context of his body of work.
"The Large Cat" is not only a significant piece within Cornelius de Visscher's portfolio but also an important work in the study of Dutch printmaking. It reflects the cultural appreciation for domestic animals in the 17th century and provides insight into the technical prowess of artists during the Dutch Golden Age. The etching continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
