Jacht op everzwijnen 1609

Antonio Tempesta's "Jacht op everzwijnen" (1609) is a dynamic engraving depicting a boar hunt in progress. The scene, set in a mountainous landscape, features several riders on horseback pursuing a group of boars, with dogs assisting in the chase. The energetic composition and detailed portrayal of the animals highlight the excitement and danger of the hunt, a popular subject in 17th-century art. The engraving, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a visual testament to the skill and artistry of Tempesta, a prominent Italian printmaker of the period.
