EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Diving for Coral, plate 92" takes us back to the 17th century and immerses us in a world of adventure. The illustration is part of the renowned collection Venationes, Ferarum, Avium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam. The image showcases a bustling scene on the open sea, where fishermen are engaged in their daily hunt for coral. A group of skilled divers can be seen plunging into the depths with determination and grace. Equipped with goggles and nets, they navigate through vibrant coral reefs as they collect their precious bounty. A sailing boat stands tall against the horizon while serving as a base for this daring expedition. Its presence adds an element of excitement to the composition as it symbolizes both transport and support for these brave hunters. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of seventeenth-century maritime life - a time when fishing was not only a means of survival but also an exhilarating pursuit filled with camaraderie and skillful techniques. This stunning engraving from Straet's collection invites viewers to step into history and appreciate the dedication required to harvest nature's treasures from beneath our oceans' surface. Displayed proudly within The Stapleton Collection, this print serves as a testament to humanity's timeless connection with nature and our enduring fascination with exploration.
