Stag hunt on horseback 

This drawing by Italian artist Giacomo Cortese (1621-?) depicts a dramatic scene of a stag hunt on horseback. The work features a group of riders and their hounds in pursuit of a stag, with the composition centered on the rider in the foreground, whose horse is depicted in dynamic motion. Cortese was known for his detailed drawings of animals and figures, and this drawing is a testament to his skill and expertise. The drawing’s delicate lines and hatching create a sense of energy and movement, suggesting the intensity of the hunt. This artwork, currently located in the Städel Museum, is an example of the Baroque style.
