Jagers vangen en doden krokodillen 1605

Antonio Tempesta's "Jagers vangen en doden krokodillen" (1605) depicts a scene of men hunting crocodiles. The detailed etching portrays men using clubs and ropes to subdue the large reptiles. The scene is set in a tropical landscape, with palm trees and a river in the background. The artist's precise and dynamic lines create a sense of urgency and excitement, capturing the intensity of the hunt. This work is a testament to Tempesta's skill as an engraver and his interest in depicting the natural world.
