This print takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in a pivotal moment during Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz's voyage to Novaya Zemlya, Russia. The scene depicts a group of courageous walrus hunters engaged in their perilous pursuit. With their harpoons poised and muscles taut, these skilled men demonstrate the determination and bravery required for such an endeavor. The illustration, originally crafted by renowned Dutch artist Jan Luyken between 1649 and 1712, captures the essence of this historical event with remarkable detail. It transports us to a time when exploration was fraught with danger and discovery was fueled by sheer audacity.

Through Ken Welsh's expert lens, we are invited to witness not only the act of hunting but also the spirit of exploration that defined this period. The composition evokes both awe at nature's grandeur and admiration for those who dared venture into uncharted territories. Let this print serve as a reminder that history is not merely confined within textbooks; it lives on through artistry like Luyken's work—capturing moments frozen in time for generations to come.
