EDITORS COMMENTS
A Chimerical Animal Chasing Other Animals," is a captivating etching by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrick Hondius I, created in the 1610s during the Baroque era. This intriguing work of art is part of the "Battling Animals" series, specifically plate 24, and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The image portrays a fantastical scene of a mythical beast in pursuit of other animals. At the center of the composition, a chimerical creature, a blend of various animals, is shown in full charge. Its body resembles that of a wild boar, while its head is adorned with the features of a dragon and a wolf. The mythical beast's eyes are filled with determination and ferocity, as it relentlessly chases a group of Eurasian wild pigs across the landscape. The scene is set against a backdrop of a rugged, continental terrain, with trees and rocks adding depth and texture to the image. The use of black and white in this etching enhances the contrast between the light and dark areas, creating a striking visual effect. This work of art reflects the rich mythological traditions of Europe, particularly those of the Netherlands and the Low Countries. Mythical creatures, such as the chimerical animal depicted here, were common motifs in art during the Baroque era, and served to illustrate various concepts, including the power of nature and the natural world's inherent beauty and mystery. Hendrick Hondius I's "A Chimerical Animal Chasing Other Animals" is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the mythological traditions and artistic styles of the 17th century. This masterpiece continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of Europe and the world.
