EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ostrich Hunt" takes us back to the 17th century, showcasing the incredible talent of Italian artist Antonio Tempesta. The image depicts a thrilling scene from Hunting Scenes VI, where huntsmen on horseback are engaged in an exhilarating pursuit of ostriches amidst a picturesque landscape. Tempesta's etching skillfully captures the intensity and excitement of the hunt. The hunters, clad in traditional attire, demonstrate their mastery as they navigate through palm trees and lush vegetation. A group of magnificent ostriches gracefully run ahead, their long legs propelling them forward with remarkable speed. The composition is enriched by the presence of hunting dogs that eagerly join in the chase. Their loyalty and determination add to the drama unfolding before our eyes. As we observe this scene frozen in time at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we can almost feel ourselves transported into this seventeenth-century world. Antonio Tempesta's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate every element within this artwork - from each individual feather on the ostriches' bodies to every leaf on the surrounding plants. This masterpiece serves as a testament not only to Tempesta's artistic prowess but also to his deep understanding and appreciation for nature. As we contemplate this striking image, it reminds us of humanity's longstanding relationship with animals and our enduring fascination with both their beauty and power.
