EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting by Danish artist Jens Juel, titled "Hyena from the Menagerie at Frederiksberg Castle," dates back to the eighteenth century. The menagerie at Frederiksberg Castle in Copenhagen, Denmark, was a popular attraction during the 1700s, showcasing an array of exotic animals from around the world for the amusement and education of the Danish royalty and aristocracy. Juel expertly captures the raw power and intensity of the hyena in this masterpiece. The animal's piercing eyes and bared teeth convey a sense of both curiosity and danger. The rich, earthy tones of the painting bring the hyena's fur to life, while the muted background of the menagerie's wooden enclosure adds depth and context to the scene. Jens Juel (1745-1802) was a prominent Danish painter of the late Baroque period. He is known for his portraits, landscapes, and animal paintings, which often featured animals from the menagerie at Frederiksberg Castle. This painting is a testament to Juel's skill as an artist, as he masterfully conveys the essence of the hyena through his use of color, composition, and brushwork. Today, this painting is a cherished part of the collection at the National Gallery of Denmark, also known as Statens Museum for Kunst. It is a reminder of Denmark's rich artistic heritage and the fascination with the natural world that existed during the eighteenth century.
