EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Digging Out and Capturing Porcupines" takes us back to the 17th century world of hunting wild beasts. Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam, this illustration is part of a larger collection called Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish). In this scene, we witness a group of hunters using their wits and tools to capture porcupines. The intricate details in the engraving bring the action to life as we see one hunter digging into a hole with his walking stick while another holds up a net ready for trapping. The tension is palpable as they carefully navigate capturing these elusive creatures. The composition showcases not only the skillful craftsmanship of Collaert but also highlights the diversity of wildlife present during that time period. From hedgehogs scurrying about to other animals lurking in the background, it's clear that nature was both feared and revered. This print offers us a glimpse into an era when hunting was not just a sport but also an essential means for survival. It reminds us of our connection with nature and how humans have always sought to understand and conquer its mysteries. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, let us appreciate the artistry involved in preserving moments like these for generations to come.
