Titelprent met cartouche met titel en rand met dieren, midden boven een beer 1598

This title page engraving, created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in 1598, is a beautiful example of Baroque style. The artwork features a detailed border of fantastical animals, including birds, bears, and a monkey, creating a dynamic and intricate composition. The central inscription in Italian, "Secondo libro di caccie varie," reveals the engraving's purpose - to illustrate a book on hunting. The intricate details and dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristic of the Baroque period, create a sense of movement and dynamism. The print is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
