During the 1620s, Déruet was the principal painter to the duchy of Lorraine, an important artistic center in present-day eastern France. Initially trained by Jacques Bellange, another Lorraine court painter, Déruet took a trip to Rome in the 1610s which was pivotal in exposing him to works by the painter and engraver Antonio Tempesta. Like a number of Northern European artists of his generation, Déruet followed Tempesta’s lead creating complex compositions of classically inspired hunt and battle subjects such as these.
