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 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 (-5[1])includes a (*) crocodile and hippopotamus. (10[1])Figures ice skate (10[1])on a frozen lake 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 of the Months series.
