The landscape with the all trees and bushes gives this a perfect illusion of space. This painting tells a clear story by the way the dogs and the dead hare are placed. The dead hare is placed in the corner and the two dogs both want it. The brown and black dog are quarreling over the dead hare but the brown dog is closer to the hare. The brown dog is closer and looks like he was there first and had been hovering around this dead hare for a while. The black dog would have to go through the brown dog to get to the hare. The brown dog does not look like he wants to eat this hare because he is too far away and if he was going to eat the hare he would be a lot closer to the hare when he is defending it. Unlike any other paintings before this one it is very realistic in terms of the illusion of space and the realistic look of the dogs and the hare. The realism differs in this picture than any others in the time before this painting looks like a picture taken from a camera. The artist positions the viewer like he slightly above the dogs or like any human man or women walking into the woods and coming across two dogs fighting. The dogs are unaware of the viewer looking at the painting they are too involved in the quarrel for the hare so they do not relate to spectator at all. The pose and gestures on the dogs faces show that they are about to fight and it shows that either dog is unwelcome to the other. The light and shadow in the landscape set the scene for the fight between the two dogs. The artist gives a convincing illusion when using light and shadow to model his figures of natural looking dogs. I feel this painting of two dogs is more than just two hunting dogs fighting over their dinner. After analyzing every little piece of this painting I felt that the dead hare is not just an animal but I feel it symbolizes the death of Jesus. The dead hare is Jesus and the brown and white dog symbolizes Mary and the apostles who took Jesus from the cross protected him and brought him to he tomb.
