Hazenjacht 1582 - 1633

"Hazenjacht" (Hare Hunt), an engraving by Philips Galle, depicts a lively hunting scene set in a wooded landscape. The print, likely created between 1582 and 1633, showcases the detailed and precise style characteristic of Northern Renaissance art. The composition features a group of hunters pursuing hares through a lush forest, emphasizing the excitement and drama of the chase. Galle's meticulous attention to detail can be seen in the depiction of the riders, dogs, and the natural environment, making this a classic example of 16th-century printmaking. The artwork currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
