EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fol. 12v The Month of December: Hunting Wild Boar, from the Breviarium Grimani, a remarkable piece created by the Flemish School in the 16th century. The artwork, made on vellum, is currently housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy. The image transports us to a scene filled with action and excitement. In this Renaissance-era painting, we witness a group of huntsmen engaging in an exhilarating wild boar hunt within a dense woodland setting. Armed with spears and accompanied by their loyal hunting dogs, they navigate through the thick undergrowth as they pursue their prey. The composition beautifully captures both the serenity of nature and the energy of the chase. The towering trees create a sense of depth while also providing cover for these skilled hunters. A horn blower alerts his companions to any developments during this thrilling pursuit. Amidst all this activity, we catch glimpses of daily life unfolding nearby - a town nestled at the edge of the forest and horses grazing peacefully in open fields beyond. This harmonious blend between human activity and natural surroundings is characteristic of many Renaissance artworks. Overall, this stunning print not only highlights exceptional artistic skill but also offers us insight into historical practices such as hunting techniques prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with capturing moments from everyday life through art across different time periods.
