"Stierenjacht" is a 1631 engraving by an anonymous Dutch artist depicting a bull hunt, a popular theme in art during this period. The artwork is a depiction of a bull being hunted by a group of men on horseback and on foot. The men are armed with spears, and the bull is shown struggling to break free. This print is an example of a detailed, highly skilled engraving with a scene that is both dramatic and realistic. The work is housed at the Rijksmuseum.
