Hertenjacht in een moeras 1602

"Hertenjacht in een moeras" (Deer Hunt in a Swamp), created in 1602 by Jacob Savery I, is a detailed etching that showcases the artist's mastery of depicting nature. The scene unfolds in a swampy woodland, with a stag leaping across a stream, pursued by hunters on horseback and foot. Savery I meticulously renders the intricate details of the trees, foliage, and the figures' clothing, capturing the dynamic action and tension of the hunt. The composition, with its perspective and sense of depth, creates a realistic and immersive experience, making it a prime example of 17th-century Dutch landscape art.
