This engraving, created by Philips Galle in 1578, is a title page for a series of prints depicting various hunting scenes. It features an intricate composition with a central inscription dedicating the series to Cosimo de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. The border is adorned with figures and animals, including a lion, a stag, and a swan, reflecting the themes of the series. The print was likely commissioned by a member of the Medici family, showcasing the artistic patronage of this influential Italian dynasty. This artwork exemplifies the artistic trends of the late 16th century, with its detailed engraving and emphasis on decorative elements. The print is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
