EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning display of majolica tiles depicting a dramatic scene from The Hunting Room at Palacio da Praia in Belem, Portugal. Created by the Portuguese School in the 17th century, these ceramic tiles depict dogs attacking a bull with incredible detail and artistry. The intricate design and vibrant colors of this tiled panel immediately draw the viewer's attention. The ferocity of the attack is palpable as each dog lunges towards its prey, capturing a moment frozen in time. This motif represents both power and danger, showcasing the primal instincts of animals engaged in an intense battle. The craftsmanship displayed in this work is truly remarkable. Each tile has been carefully hand-painted to create a seamless pattern that adds depth and dimension to the overall composition. The use of maiolica technique further enhances the beauty of these ceramics, giving them a glossy finish that catches light and creates an alluring visual effect. Now housed at Museo Nacional del Azulejo in Lisbon, Portugal, these historic tiles serve as an important reminder of traditional Portuguese artistry and cultural heritage. They offer us a glimpse into centuries-old traditions while also serving as timeless works of art that continue to captivate audiences today. Ken Welsh's expert photography skillfully captures every intricate detail and brings this magnificent piece to life for all to admire.
