EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical spectacle organized by the legendary Alexander the Great. In this vivid illustration from Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), engraved by Jan Collaert in the 17th century, we witness an extraordinary battle between a lion, dog, and elephant. The scene is filled with anticipation as these majestic creatures confront each other in a clash of strength and survival. The artist masterfully captures the intensity of the moment as spectators eagerly watch from all angles. The crowd's expressions range from awe to excitement while witnessing this thrilling display of power and ferocity. Alexander himself sits on his throne at the center of attention, overseeing every detail with a walking stick in hand. However, amidst its grandeur lies an unsettling truth about animal cruelty prevalent during that time period. This image serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with wildlife throughout history. Jan van der Straet's intricate engravings bring this ancient event to life with remarkable precision and detail. It transports us back to an era where such spectacles were considered entertainment for audiences hungry for excitement and adrenaline. As we reflect upon this artwork from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection today, it prompts us to contemplate how our perception of animals has evolved over time - reminding us that even within art lies important lessons about compassion towards all living beings.
