Wolf and Fox Hunt, ca. 1616, Oil on canvas, 96 5/8 x 148 1/8 in. (245.4 x 376.2 cm), Paintings, Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, Siegen 1577–1640 Antwerp) and Workshop, With characteristic business acumen, Rubens created a market for a new art form: very large hunting scenes painted on canvas, of which this one is the first. The few earlier examples were either models for or copies after tapestries, but Rubens’s large 'hunts' of about 1616–21 were made as replacements for that very expensive medium
