Roulant Savera (niderl. Roelant Savery, 1576-1629) — Flemish painter, a native of Kortrijk, a pupil of his brother, Jacobs Saveria, who wrote of animals, birds and fish. Together with some other Flemish artists, he was invited by Emperor Rudolph II to Prague, where he lived until the death of the Emperor in 1612 the End of his life he spent in Utrecht. First, being at home, Savera painted landscapes, which usually portrayed the Northern nature, and then, after his journey through the Tyrol and German-speaking Switzerland, reproduced exclusively mountainous, forested area with waterfalls. In his landscapes he found in abundance were placed figures of different animals and birds, which gave him a reason to call such pictures as "heaven on Earth", "Noah's ark", "Orpheus subduing animal sounds of the lyre," etc. the Fidelity of the picture, strong, although somewhat conditional due to excess bluish tones, colors and thoughtfulness of the composition is formed of the dignity of this artist. His paintings are found in many museums, especially rich in them the Vienna and Dresden galleries. The Hermitage is one work Saveria "Orpheus, enticing the animals with his music."
