The Four Elements: Air. A Poultry Market with the Prodigal Son in the Background 1570 Joachim Beuckelaer 1533–1574 Antwerp Flemish Belgium Belgian
In this painting, 'Air', different kinds of fowl are offered for sale, some still alive in large wicker baskets, others dead and ready for plucking. On the platter in the centre of the foreground are rabbits, and to either side eggs in a basket and stacks of cheeses. In the middle of the composition, at a distance, the prodigal son is shown leaning against a woman in a debauched manner.
