Angelo Maria Crivelli, "Il Crivellone", zugeschr., Fuchs im Hühnerhof (Volpe che caccia le galline), Ölgemälde um 1700, gerahmtAngelo Maria Crivelli, um 1650 Mailand - 1730, arbeitete am Hof von Parma, galt unter Zeitgenossen als einer der führenden Stilllebenmaler seiner Zeit, hier: Ein angeleinter Fuchs giert nach einer Gruppe von Hühnern, die sich arglos mit ihren Küken auf einem Bauernhof tummeln. Zwei Gänse ergreifen bereits die Flucht, Öl/Lw., altdoubliert mit einigen Retuschen, ungereinigt mit schönem Alterskrakelee, 50 x 102 cm, alt gerahmtIn der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhundert in Mailand geboren, ist Crivellone zwischen 1662 und 1730 dokumentarisch erfasst. Er arbeitete am Hof von Parma (siehe Orlandi, Abecedario pittorico del M. R. P. Pellegrino Antonio Orlandi, bolognese, contenente le notizie de’ professori di pittura, scoltura, ed architettura, Venedig 1753, S. 60). Unter dem Einfluss von flämischen Künstlern wie Hondecoeter, Weenix, Snyders und Fyt spezialisierte er sich auf die Darstellung von Tieren, wobei sich seine Stillleben durch eine feine und genaue, aber nichtsdestotrotz lebendige Pinselführung auszeichnen. In seinem Schaffen kehrte er immer wieder zu denselben Bildthemen, wie z.B. der Fuchs im Hühnerhof, zurück, die er variierte.

FIRST EDITION, with "vengeance forego" on p.97, line 11. "Murray had printed the usual 500 copies [of the first edition], at the time considered adequate for any book of verse. The edition was sold within three days ... [I]t was the very 'romanticism' of Childe Harold that established Byron and Byronism as a temporarily national and centennially international force in the western mind. What the whole of the nineteenth century admired most was the fascinating blend of aristocratic arrogance and revolutionary enthusiasm, sexual licentiousness and purity of love, glowing passion and deep melancholy, bitter irony and lachrymose sentimentality, exquisite dandyism and high personal courage. All these traits, and many more beside them, the public found in the mixture of realistic confession and stylized saga with which Byron expressed as well as veiled himself in the guise of Childe Harold ... The Byronic combination of oriental enchantment and nature worship, pessimism and pantheism, stamped itself upon European civilization" (PMM). "The Poem enjoyed tremendous success.
