"A Fox Chasing a Cockerel by a Thistle in a Landscape" is a 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Peeter Boel (1622–1674). Known for his skillful animal paintings and still lifes, Boel's work often reflects the Baroque style's emphasis on vivid detail, dynamic composition, and the interplay of light and shadow. This particular painting captures a moment of tension in nature, depicting a fox in the midst of a pursuit, its attention fixed on a cockerel that stands defensively by a thistle in a pastoral setting.

The artwork serves as an example of Boel's expertise in rendering animals with a sense of character and vitality, a talent that led to his appointment as a painter to the French king and his work at the Gobelins Manufactory, where he produced designs for tapestries. "A Fox Chasing a Cockerel by a Thistle in a Landscape" not only showcases Boel's technical prowess but also reflects the period's interest in naturalism and the allegorical potential of animal subjects. The painting's precise date of creation is unclear, but it falls within Boel's most productive period, when he was active in Antwerp before moving to Paris in 1668.

The painting's composition, with its attention to the textures of fur, feathers, and flora, and its dramatic narrative quality, are characteristic of Boel's approach to art. While the painting may not be as widely recognized as some of his other works, it contributes to the understanding of Baroque art and the naturalistic tendencies that emerged during the period. The current location of "A Fox Chasing a Cockerel by a Thistle in a Landscape" is not specified in available sources, and further details about its provenance and critical reception remain limited. Nonetheless, the work stands as a testament to Peeter Boel's contributions to the genre of animal painting and his lasting influence on the development of still life and naturalistic representation in European art.
