About the Item

This lively sporting composition, attributed to Robert Cleminson, portrays two dogs in vigorous pursuit of a duck soaring above a tranquil lake or river. The moment of flight is captured with dramatic immediacy: the dogs, painted in mid-stride, strain forward with palpable energy, while the duck ascends in a burst of motion and light. Reflections in the water and the softly modelled landscape contribute to the sense of depth and naturalism characteristic of Cleminson’s work. Cleminson was a British painter known primarily for his depictions of sporting and animal subjects, often emphasizing the vitality and physicality of his animal figures. His technique typically combines meticulous attention to anatomy with a loose, painterly handling of background and foliage, creating a balance between realism and atmospheric effect. In The Chase Over the Water, these qualities are evident in the detailed rendering of the dogs’ coats and the subtle modulation of light across the water’s surface, evoking both tension and grace within the natural world.

Animal scene Duck hunting with dogs 18th century Swedish Master by Philip Korn
Located in Stockholm, SE
Monogrammed lower left: Johan Philip Korn (1728 - 1796), was a Swedish painter. A beautiful landscape, with a backwater in which carefree ducks swim, hunters and their dogs in passion, in the background you can see a city with a bell tower. Old masters have been depicting animals in their paintings since the Renaissance. In those days, hunting scenes were popular - there is always a share of emotional participation in them. Here it is necessary to understand that in previous centuries people looked at hunting as a means of obtaining food, therefore naturalism dominates in the painting of the old masters. Old oil painting on wooden panel, in a non-original frame of the 19th century. Size app.: 49 x 64 cm (roughly 19.3 x 25.2 in) and nice golden gesso frame ca 65.5 x 81.5 cm (roughly 25.8 x 32.1 in). Very Good condition, age wear, cracks on a wooden board, minor losses, retouches, cleared and conserved. Please study good resolution images for overall cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 6.4 kg is going to measure some 10 kg volume weight packed for shipment. Johan Philip Korn first began his career as a decorative painter. He was a student of artist Johan Sevenbom (1721-1784). After further studies he changed to landscape painting in the Rococo style of French artist François Boucher (1703–1770) and often after Dutch copper engravings. In 1759, Korn became master of the Stockholm...
