Philipp von Purgau
(Linz 1681–1750 Vienna)
A falcon preying on a blackcock and a goldfinch,
oil on canvas, 73.5 x 58.5 cm, framed.
We are grateful to Fred Meijer for endorsing the attribution.
The present painting depicts a falcon rendered with supreme realism swooping in over a tree trunk, startling a goldfinch and a blackcock. The three birds are seen from below and set against an extensive landscape view on the right, in a manner characteristic of this Austrian painter. Comparable paintings by Philipp von Purgau are in the Museum im Schottenstift, Vienna (see Still life with dead birds and a squirrel, inv. no. 82, and Guinea fowl in a landscape, inv. no. 93).
