EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Birdcatchers selling Wood Pigeon" takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling world of tradesmen and hunters. The illustration is part of the renowned Venationes, Ferarum, Avium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds) series engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam. In this scene, we see a group of birdcatchers engaging in their trade. The male birdcatcher stands proudly with his catch - a collection of wood pigeons - while potential buyers gather around him. Among them is a female figure who appears interested in making her purchase. This depiction highlights the diversity within hunting practices during that era. The intricate details captured by Joannes Stradanus bring this historical moment to life. From the expressions on each character's face to the vibrant colors used throughout, every element adds depth and realism to the image. As we admire this artwork from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an important aspect of daily life centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that art has always been instrumental in preserving history and allowing us to appreciate cultures long gone.
