EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Diving for Coral, plate 92 from Venationes Ferarum, Avium" takes us back in time to the 17th century. Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus of Amsterdam, this hand-colored engraving showcases the incredible talent of Netherlandish artist Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus). The image transports us to a coral reef where we witness a bustling scene of fishermen on their sailing boats. A skilled diver plunges into the crystal-clear waters wearing goggles and equipped with nets as he embarks on his underwater hunt for precious coral. The vibrant colors used in this illustration bring life to every detail - from the shimmering blue sea to the vividly colored fish swimming alongside. As our eyes explore further, we notice other fishermen aboard their boats, eagerly awaiting their comrade's successful dive. This gathering highlights the collaborative effort required for a fruitful fishing expedition during that era. The intricate details captured by van der Straet allow us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. "Diving for Coral" is not only an exquisite piece of art but also serves as a window into maritime history and traditional fishing practices. It reminds us of how people relied on nature's resources while showcasing the beauty found beneath our oceans' surfaces. This stunning engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection invites viewers to appreciate both its artistic merit and its historical significance within seventeenth-century society.
