EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the legendary Hannibal (247-c. 183 BC) orchestrating defeated Romans to fight each other. Plate 7 from Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus of Amsterdam, showcases the intricate artistry of Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus). In this scene, we witness the intense gladiatorial games taking place in an ancient arena. The prisoners-turned-gladiators are armed with swords and shields as they confront each other under the watchful eyes of a mesmerized audience. Hannibal's strategic brilliance is evident as he forces his Roman captives into combat against one another. However, what truly sets this image apart is its climax - the last surviving fighter standing face-to-face with an imposing elephant that has been de-trunked. This symbolic encounter represents not only physical conflict but also man's struggle against nature itself. The hand-colored engraving beautifully captures every detail of this historical event while evoking a sense of awe and admiration for both Hannibal's tactical genius and the bravery displayed by these warriors on their path to survival. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection, this Netherlandish masterpiece serves as a testament to human resilience and our eternal fascination with battle and conquest throughout time.
