Series of Prints with Flowers and Animals in a Landscape c. 1600 - 1605

This print by Johann Hogenberg, part of a series, depicts a wolf seated in a landscape with plants, including poppies. The artist, a prominent figure in the field of cartography and engraving, created this work during the early 17th century. This small-scale print, measuring just 98 mm by 123 mm, showcases Hogenberg's meticulous detail and his interest in natural history. The print's subject matter, combining animals and plants, reflects the growing interest in the natural world during the Renaissance period. The use of engraving, a technique that allows for precise lines and details, further enhances the realistic portrayal of the wolf and its environment.
