EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Men in Heavy Armour Attack Bears by Stabbing them in the Vitals" takes us back to a time when hunting was not just a sport but also a display of strength and bravery. Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus of Amsterdam, this hand-coloured engraving showcases the work of Joannes Stradanus (Jan van der Straet), a renowned Netherlandish artist from the 17th century. In this illustration, we witness an intense scene as armoured hunters engage in combat with ferocious bears. Armed with knives and daggers, these courageous men fearlessly target the vital areas of their formidable opponents. The image captures both the danger and excitement that accompanied such blood sports during this era. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing Stradanus' skillful artistry. Every stroke brings life to each figure and emphasizes their determination amidst the chaos. This artwork serves as a testament to human resilience and our primal instinct for survival. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from The Stapleton Collection, we are transported into an age where man's relationship with nature was defined by dominance rather than conservation. It reminds us of how far society has come in redefining our connection with wildlife while acknowledging past practices that shaped our understanding today.
