EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique method of catching fish in nets by tapping against the rocks. The illustration, engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam, is part of the renowned Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish) series. Created by Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus), this artwork showcases his exceptional talent for depicting classical landscapes. The scene unfolds along a picturesque river nestled within an Italianate landscape. A group of fishermen can be seen diligently hammering their nets against the rocks to startle and capture the fish swimming nearby. Among them are both male and female figures engaged in this ancient fishing technique. The composition exudes a sense of harmony between nature and human activity as it seamlessly blends elements from hunting with those from fishing traditions. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraving, capturing not only the skillful execution but also emphasizing the beauty found within this everyday task. As we delve into this seventeenth-century masterpiece from The Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever on paper. This print serves as a reminder that art has always been an avenue through which humanity explores its relationship with nature and celebrates our ingenuity when it comes to sustaining ourselves through traditional methods such as fishing.
