Author: Albert J. Elen

Prints after Stradanus’s designs were very popular and often copied soon after they were published. In this case we are obviously dealing with a copy after the print, not a design for it. The drawing is inferior in style, probably executed by an early 17th-c. Netherlandish draftsman, it is in the same direction as the print and in red chalk, a medium seldom used by Stradanus. The model is an unnumbered print [no. 18], engraved by Philips Galle after a design by Stradanus, part of the first edition of 43 prints of hunts and animal scenes, published in 1578-1580 in Antwerp by Galle and no. 56 in the numbered series Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium […], published by Galle around 1596 (fig. 1).1
