EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of hunting in Venice during the Renaissance period. Painted by Vittore Carpaccio around 1490-5, "Hunting on the Lagoon" showcases a scene filled with action and tranquility simultaneously. The oil on panel artwork, measuring 75.6x63.8 cm, is housed at the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Recent research has revealed that this painting was originally part of Carpaccio's larger masterpiece titled "Two Venetian Ladies" which can be found at the Correr Museum in Venice. In this particular work, it serves as a stunning background to depict an exciting hunting expedition. The composition portrays a hunter standing confidently in a boat while aiming his bow towards a flock of birds flying above him. Pellets are scattered across the water surface as evidence of previous successful shots. Cormorants gracefully glide through the lagoon, adding to the picturesque scenery. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only nature but also elements unique to Venice itself. Gondolas can be seen elegantly navigating through the calm waters, showcasing both everyday life and leisure activities within this iconic city. With its vibrant colors and skillful execution, "Hunting on the Lagoon" transports viewers back to a time when hunting was not just about survival but also an art form celebrated during one of Italy's most influential artistic periods –the Renaissance.
