EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from the 17th century print collection, "Venationes, Ferarum, Avium" depicts an extraordinary scene of pygmies on goats hunting a crane. Created by the talented engraver Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam, this artwork showcases the remarkable imagination and skill of Joannes Stradanus (Jan van der Straet). In this intricate composition, we see a group of pygmies riding atop agile goats as they pursue their prey with determination. Armed with spears held high, these diminutive hunters demonstrate their bravery and resourcefulness in taking down such a formidable bird. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece. From the texture of the animals' fur to the expression on each figure's face, Stradanus brings life and energy to his subjects. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene while highlighting both the hunters' fierce determination and their surroundings – a network of caves that serve as their shelter. As we gaze upon this rare glimpse into ancient folklore and mythological tales, we are reminded not only of humanity's enduring fascination with nature but also our ability to create art that transcends time. This print serves as a testament to the power of artistic expression throughout history. Now part of The Stapleton Collection, this Italian masterpiece continues to captivate viewers today through its timeless beauty and narrative richness.
