EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Italian Vipers Eating Toads, plate 60" is a stunning illustration from the book Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish). Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam during the 17th century. The artwork showcases a dramatic scene of dogs and hunters capturing vipers while they devour toads. The composition beautifully captures the intensity of the hunt as well as the intricate details of each element. The snakes slithering amidst tall grasses with their prey in their mouths create a sense of danger and excitement. The hunters armed with sticks are depicted strategically maneuvering to capture these elusive creatures. The print not only highlights the skillful craftsmanship but also provides valuable insight into hunting practices during that era. It serves as a visual documentation of wildlife encounters and offers an opportunity for viewers to appreciate nature's complexity. Displayed within this private collection, this engraving is part of a larger series featuring various animals hunted across different regions. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its contribution to our understanding of human-animal interactions throughout history. As we observe this remarkable piece, it reminds us of our fascination with nature's wonders and how art can serve as both entertainment and education through time.
