Zwijnenjacht 1612

"Zwijnenjacht" (1612) by Pieter Serwouters is an etching that depicts a boar hunt in a dense forest. The scene is full of action and drama, with hunters on horseback and on foot pursuing the wild boar. The print's detail is characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age and its celebration of the natural world, with the artist capturing the movement of the hunters and the animals with great skill. It is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the enduring appeal of this popular subject in Dutch art.
