Man te paard en honden jagen op een hert 1595

"Man on Horseback and Dogs Hunting a Deer" (1595) is a detailed etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta (1555-1630). The print captures the excitement of a hunting scene as a nobleman on horseback pursues a stag. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the rider’s clothing, the horse’s muscular form, and the landscape background. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Tempesta's mastery of the medium and his ability to portray the energy and drama of the hunt.
