    Dec. 12, 2024

    Matthäus Merian I (1593-1650) - Chamois and ibex hunting

    Est: €260 - €340

    Chamois and ibex hunting. Numerous hunters armed with hooked spears climb a rocky mountain on the right. They have trouble climbing the vertical walls. At the right back the horses and some hunters are resting. Further back there is a wild rocky landscape with three striking mountain peaks. Rather roughly engraved sheet, entirely in the style of Antonio Tempesta. Engraving from a serie of four after the large hunting scenes by Antonio Tempesta. Published in Strassbourg by Jacob van der Heyden around 1616/1620. This early impression dates from the first half of Merian his career (in his twenties). The landscape art from his early period deserves more attention as it is far superior to his later work.
