- The_Hippopotamus_and_Crocodile_Hunt abstract "The Hippopotamus and Crocodile Hunt is an oil painting on canvas by Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577 - 1640). Rubens created the genre of the large hunting scene and his studio produced dozens for aristocratic patrons in the 1610s and 1620s. Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria, commissioned the Hippopotamus and Crocodile Hunt three others depicting lion, wolf and boar hunts, in 1615 to decorate Schleißheim Palace, the summer residence of the Wittelsbach princes. Rubens and his studio produced the four large canvases in Antwerp over the years 1615–16. The Wittelsbach collection formed the nucleus of Alte Pinakothek in Munich, the present location of the Hippopotamus and Crocodile Hunt and The Lion Hunt from the same cycle.The hippopotamus and crocodile hunt takes place on the banks of the Nile, as indicated by a palm tree in the background. As hippopotami and crocodiles were considered dangerous nuisances, their destruction was a duty performed by noblemen. The hunting party comprises three men, in orientalizing costume, mounted on Arabian horses, who hunt with lance and sword and two valets, clad in roughly-hewn jerkins, one of whom has been killed by one of the beasts. The enraged hippopotamus tramples the crocodile, as both are attacked by the hunters and hounds. The accurately-rendered physical appearances of the hippopotamus and crocodile reflect the period's growing interest in empiricism and natural history, and it has been suggested that Rubens may have traveled to Rome to view a temporarily-displayed dead hippopotamus preserved in brine prior to the painting of the picture.The complexity of the figure grouping, representation of turbulent motion and violent action, high drama and brilliant palette are hallmarks of Rubens' style.This cycle of paintings were looted from the palace during the Napoleonic Wars. Only the Hippopotamus and Crocodile Hunt was returned to Munich., at which time it was added to the collection that is now the Alte Pinakothek.In the notice of January 25, 1847 Eugène Delacroix admired the crocodile as a \"masterpiece of execution\", remarking, however, that \"its action could have been more interesting\".".
