EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling spectacle from ancient Rome, showcasing the incredible imagination and entertainment put on by Emperor Claudius. In this scene, we witness a sea monster viciously attacking a boat in a marine enclosure at Ostia. The artist, Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus), beautifully engraved this dramatic moment that is now preserved in history. The plate, hand-coloured by Jan Collaert, brings to life the chaos and danger of the encounter between man and mythical beast. As rowers struggle to navigate their vessel amidst the turmoil, spectators watch with bated breath as they witness this epic battle unfold before their eyes. The attention to detail in this illustration is remarkable; every stroke of the engraving highlights the terror-stricken faces of both humans and creatures alike. The statue overlooking the port adds an air of grandeur to the scene while reminding us of Rome's rich cultural heritage. Transported back to 17th century Rome through this artwork, we can almost feel ourselves being part of that audience - gasping at each attack and cheering for our favorite heroes onboard. It serves as a reminder that human fascination with extraordinary beings has transcended time. This rare print from Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium not only showcases artistic mastery but also offers us an intriguing glimpse into ancient Roman culture where hunting spectacles were celebrated events filled with excitement and awe-inspiring encounters like these.
