EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Catching quail, illustration from Venationes, Ferarum, Avium" takes us back to the 17th century Italian countryside. The scene depicts a group of hunters on horseback engaging in the age-old sport of hunting birds. Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam, this artwork showcases the intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of the era. The composition is set against an idyllic Italianate landscape with lush fields and rolling hills. A rider clad in traditional hunting attire leads the charge, his horse galloping through a bountiful harvest. The hunters employ nets to capture their prey - quails fluttering above cornfields - creating a dynamic sense of action frozen in time. This print not only captures a momentary thrill but also offers insight into agricultural practices during that period. It highlights the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature as they engage in both sport and sustenance. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life – from the graceful movement of horses to the delicate feathers of birds caught mid-flight. This piece serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with wildlife and our desire for adventure. As we admire this historical artwork today, it reminds us of our connection to nature throughout centuries past while celebrating humanity's pursuit of leisurely pursuits intertwined with everyday life.
