Question

One of these events takes place behind a tree stump in the foreground of a painting that depicts the artist’s home, Het Steen (“shtayn”), in the early morning. A portrait titled for one of these events used a low angle point of view to assuage its subject’s insecurity regarding his height, and shows Endymion (-5[1])Porter gazing into a wood to the right. To decorate Schleissheim Palace, Peter Paul Rubens was commissioned to create four large paintings of these events, one of which includes a (*) crocodile (10[1])and hippopotamus. (10[2])Figures ice skate on a frozen lake (10[1])in the background while men return from one of these events through bare trees with their dogs in a painting from its artist’s Labours (10[1])of the Months series. For 10 points, Anthony van Dyck depicted Charles I at what sort of event, whose participants title a Pieter Brueghel painting “in the Snow?” ■END■
