EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century print depicts a group of intrepid hunters and huntresses from Northern Norway, skillfully navigating the snowy terrain on traditional wooden skis. Dressed in fur-trimmed garments, they are fully immersed in the ancient art of skiing-hunting, a practice that dates back to the Viking era. With their trusted companions, the powerful and agile Spitz-type dogs, these hunters pursue their quarry with unwavering determination. The frozen landscape, dotted with snow-covered trees and icy waterways, sets the stage for an exhilarating chase. The hunters' faces are etched with focus and concentration, their eyes locked on their targets. The huntresses, equally adept, display a fierce resolve as they follow closely behind their male counterparts. The intricate details in this print reveal the rich history and cultural significance of skiing-hunting in Northern Norway during the 16th century. The traditional skis, with their long, narrow shape and bound bindings, are a testament to the hunters' mastery of this ancient craft. The dogs, bred specifically for the harsh Arctic climate, are an essential part of the hunting team, providing both companionship and assistance in tracking and retrieving game. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the connection between man, nature, and the pursuit of sustenance was deeply intertwined. The hunters and huntresses of Northern Norway, with their unwavering dedication and skill, continue to embody the spirit of the land they call home.
