EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and detailed title page of "Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish)". Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam during the 17th century. The artwork is part of The Stapleton Collection and depicts a mesmerizing array of wild animals. The composition is rich with symbolism and imagery that transports viewers into a world filled with adventure and excitement. From majestic elephants to graceful birds soaring through the sky, every creature has been meticulously captured in this engraving. A sea serpent lurks beneath the surface while monkeys playfully swing from branches above. The central focus lies on a regal lion surrounded by panthers and other big cats. Their fierce gazes convey their predatory nature as they prepare for an exhilarating hunt. In contrast, a peaceful pelican calmly observes its surroundings. The inclusion of various coat of arms adds an element of nobility to the scene, hinting at the aristocratic origins of hunting as a sport during this era. Overall, this stunning illustration serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of hunting practices in the 17th century. It invites us to marvel at nature's beauty while also reflecting on our complex relationship with wild animals throughout history.
