Period: 1450-1500;
Geographic: Italy; Europe; Ancient Greece
Description: In foreground, a deer is bent towards the lower right corner of the image, where a small section of a river is visible. The deer’s reflection is seen through the water. To the left of the image, a fruit bush is growing. Behind that deer, in the background, is another deer running towards the right as a hungry wolf is hunting it. The wolf has its tongue sticking out. The trees behind them are lightly bent towards the left, as though there was a strong gust of wind coming from the right.
