Visvangst met net 1578

This engraving, titled "Visvangst met net" (Fish Catching with a Net), was created in 1578 by the Flemish artist Philips Galle (1537-1612). The print depicts a scene of fishermen pulling in a net from a boat, while others on shore help to collect the catch. The scene is set against a backdrop of a cityscape and a river. The detailed figures and the lively action of the scene are characteristic of Galle's work, which often featured scenes of everyday life and biblical stories. The print is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
