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. It features a hunter selling doves from a basket on the side of his donkey, capturing a moment typical of rural life and hunting practices of the time. 2. **Hunting Technique**: The method of catching doves using large nets in the trees is illustrated, showcasing a historical hunting technique. 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.
