This modest painting has become one of the most beloved of all Dutch works of art. Its seeming informality and the intimacy of the depiction of its isolated subject were unique in its time. Remarkably, the bird is not set in either a hunting still life or in an explicitly allegorical context. The goldfinch is chained to a wooden perch in its feedbox. In Dutch, the bird bears the nickname puttertje, a reference to its ability to draw its water in a tiny bucket from a receptacle placed below. The original purpose of this painting has been the subject of much unresolved speculation. The bird is seen from below, implying a high placement, and set against a backdrop of a white wall. The enduring charm of The Goldfinch rests in its directness and simplicity of subject, its vibrant touches of bright color, broad brushstrokes and softly rendered shadows, evoking a moment of calm in an active, stressful world.
Every hand painted oil painting in this wildlife series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
For dining room wall art that does not feel generic, a painted wildlife canvas is hard to beat. It is a popular wildlife oil painting pick for new homeowners and a durable alternative to seasonal poster art.
