Putti op jacht 1625 - 1669

"Putti op jacht" (1625-1669) is an etching by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Galestruzzi (1615-1669). The small-scale print depicts two cherubs, or putti, engaged in a hunt, one with a spear and the other with a bow and arrow. The scene is full of action as the putti chase a wild boar, a deer, a fox, and a bird. Galestruzzi's etching captures the energy and excitement of the hunt, showing the putti's playful but determined nature. The detailed engraving shows the artist's mastery of line work and shading. "Putti op jacht" is a fine example of the Italian Baroque etching style, known for its elaborate detail and dramatic composition.
