EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Noblemen Watch Combat of Wild Beasts in an Indoor Circus" takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a world where blood sports were not only accepted but also enjoyed by nobles. Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus of Amsterdam, this hand-colored engraving showcases a thrilling scene that was popular during that era. In the image, we see a grand indoor circus filled with spectators eagerly watching as lions, bears, and dogs engage in fierce combat. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these noble individuals witness the clash between these powerful creatures. The detail captured in this engraving allows us to observe every aspect of the battle - from the attacking lions pouncing on their opponents to the hounds bravely defending themselves against their adversaries. However, it's impossible to ignore the darker side of this spectacle. Animal cruelty is evident as dead bodies lie scattered across the arena floor. This depiction serves as a reminder of how different our values are today compared to those held centuries ago. Despite its controversial nature, this illustration provides valuable insight into historical practices and societal norms surrounding entertainment and hunting during the 17th century. It invites contemplation about our own relationship with animals and how our perspectives have evolved over time. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork captures both fascination and discomfort while shedding light on an intriguing chapter in history.
