EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from the Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium collection takes us back to a time when men in heavy armor fearlessly engaged in intense battles with wild bears. The engraving by Jan Collaert showcases the bravery and skill of these armoured hunters as they valiantly stab their daggers into the vitals of these powerful creatures. The scene is filled with action and tension as the hunters face off against their formidable opponents. With every strike of their knives, they aim for the perfect spot to immobilize and conquer these wild animals. Blood spills onto the ground, evidence of a fierce struggle between man and beast. Created by Joannes Stradanus during the 17th century, this artwork offers a glimpse into an era where hunting served not only as a means of survival but also as a thrilling blood sport. It highlights both the danger faced by hunters and their unwavering determination to overcome nature's most ferocious adversaries. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are transported to an age where humans tested their mettle against untamed wildlife. It serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with animals throughout history – one that encompasses both admiration for their strength and resilience while acknowledging our own primal instincts for dominance over them.
