Boar Hunt along the Banks of the Tiber at Fiano 17th-18th century

Editor: This is Gaspar van Wittel's "Boar Hunt along the Banks of the Tiber at Fiano," a pen and brown ink drawing. It's interesting how muted the tones are, almost like a faded memory. What stands out to you? Curator: I notice the texture of the paper itself, and how the artist used the materials available to them. Pen and ink were readily accessible, making art production feasible. It suggests a culture where hunting was both a pastime and a means of acquiring resources. How does this emphasis on labor and resources change your view? Editor: It makes me think about who could afford to participate in such activities and document them. Thanks!
