Catching Doves in Renaissance Europe: Stradanus & Galle's 1615 Hunting Print
Located in Langweer, NL
The antique print titled 'Retibus aut iaculis capitar sic sepe Palumbe' is a fascinating piece from the early 17th century, part of the renowned 104-print series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" designed by Joannes Stradanus and engraved by Philip Galle around 1615. This series is celebrated for its detailed depiction of various hunting scenes. **Key Aspects of the Print:** 1. **Scene Depiction**: The print vividly portrays the practice of catching wild doves.

This detail provides insight into the methods and tools used in bird hunting in the early 17th century. 3. **Artistic Style**: The print reflects the artistic style of Joannes Stradanus, a Flemish artist known for his dynamic and detailed illustrations. Stradanus's work often depicted scenes of hunting, agriculture, and daily life, capturing the spirit of the Renaissance. 4. **Engraving by Philip Galle**: Philip Galle, a renowned engraver, was known for his skillful execution and contribution to the spread of Renaissance art through printed media. His collaboration with Stradanus resulted in high-quality and artistically significant prints. 5. **Cultural and Historical Significance**: This print is valuable for its portrayal of hunting practices and rural life in the early 17th century.

The series is significant for its comprehensive portrayal of these activities. 7. **Educational Value**: For historians and art enthusiasts, this print offers educational insights into the techniques of Renaissance printmaking, as well as the socio-cultural aspects of hunting and trade in early modern Europe.

Antique Print of The Military Chief of Upper Egypt, 1818
Located in Langweer, NL
This print is from 'The Military Costume of Turkey. Illustrated by A Series of Engravings. From Drawings made on the Spot. Dedicated by Permission to His Excellency the Minister of the Ottoman Porte to his Britannic Majesty.' London, Published by Thomas M'Lean, Haymarket, (1818). Folio. One of 29 fine handcoloured aquatint plates . Very light offsetting from plates. The original accompanying text of this print is as follows: The remote provinces of the Turkish empire pay little more than a nominal subjection to the Porte, whose commands meet with attention, in Egypt, no longer than the chiefs who govern it find their own interest concerned in obeying them. In such countries, therefore, the traveller must venture with the greatest circumspection, when the firman of the Porte is his only safeguard, which is often either doubted or held in contempt by the ignorant chief or his rapacious subalterns, whose enmity to the Christian faith is ever alive, and whose dread of magic keeps the worst suspicions awake. The firman is therefore of little use here, compared to what it is in European Turkey. The annexed subjects represents a military chief attendant on an Aga of Upper Egypt...

Antique, New and Vintage Decorative Art

Antique, new and vintage decorative art is crucial to personalizing your interior.

Bringing art into your home will help you create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, whether you are expecting to regularly host guests for cocktails in your living room or you are inclined to soak up some “me time” on weekends by curling up with a book in your library. After all, a room isn’t quite complete until you hang some art on the walls.

Choosing a piece of art for your interior is a matter of finding something that resonates with you. You should also consider what will work with your current decor. Keep in mind that a wide range of objects counts as decorative art — antique and vintage prints, paintings, wall-mounted sculptures and more. There is so much to choose from! And art can feel as deeply personal with the vintage posters that promoted your favorite classic films as it can with framed photographs of your loved ones.

Decorative art can set the mood for a room and will typically make for great conversation. When you find wall decor and decorations that speak to you, why not introduce them into your space? It will give you and your guests the opportunity to meaningfully engage with the art every time you see it. You can play with different styles, eras and colors. Mix and match pieces to integrate a refreshing pop of color or create a theme by dedicating a room to a color palette or certain time period. A great way to tie your layout together is to choose wall art that complements your decor and color scheme.

Folk art is an interesting category for its wide range of works across various media and the array of textures it can offer. Paper art is another versatile option because it will be easy to find a home for portraits, collages, drawings and other works in your space. With decorative paper art, you can also get creative with how you arrange your wall art. There are plenty of options that include hanging the works salon-style.

On 1stDibs, find a constantly growing collection of antique and vintage decorative art today.
